Payback is a Mother Fucker

Reading today on CNN about a Republican bitching about not having input into bill reminds me of the bull shit the Republicans have been doing for years.

From a Rolling Stone article:
"I remember one incident very clearly -- I think it was 2001," says Winslow Wheeler, who served for twenty-two years as a Republican staffer in the Senate. "I was working for [New Mexico Republican] Pete Domenici at the time. We were in a Budget Committee hearing and the Democrats were debating what the final result would be. And my boss gets up and he says, 'Why are you saying this? You're not even going to be in the room when the decisions are made.' Just said it right out in the open."

From CNN:
Such protests got little sympathy from Democrats such as Appropriations Committee Chairman David Obey, D-Wisconsin, who noted Republicans last year had failed to pass nine of 11 spending bills.
"You forfeited any right to squawk about how we cleaned up your mess," Obey said. "Don't blame us for your screw-ups."

From me:
Like I said payback is a mother fucker.
I really suggest you read the Rolling Stone article as the example I picked is just one of many.
