My God, even Erickson gets it

In a shockingly coherent and concise (or shockingly concise and coherent) post, Erick Erickson eviscerates the latest in Boehnerology. The gist:

Republicans in Congress intend to vote today on Plan B, John Boehner’s fall back plan on the fiscal cliff.

The President says he will veto it.

In other words, the Republicans are going to go on record that they will sell out their last remaining principle — no tax increases — and get nothing from the Democrats in return. Nothing.

This may sound trite, but it's an irrepressible truth: When even Erick Erickson can ably deconstruct the idiotic politics of a Republican bill, you know the party has transcended mere gangsterism and entered a zone of some eerie sort of twilight.

You go Speaker Boehner! This Plan B Bill would not by any chance be numbered 482 would it? I think we all need to look at this in a proper light. It would be considered extremely disrespectful for Boehner to run an American flag up the pole upside down. How then to send an appropriate distress signal? To now thoroughly mix my metaphors I'd like to remind you of the ending of the original version of The Fly wherein the protagonist, by accidentally making himself a half man half tea party monster was reduced to screaming Help Me! Help Me! while caught in the spiders web.

Incoherent madness.
