It was pretty impressive to see the Tea Party threaten the House leader with the spectre of default. Hell, they pretty much terrorized...oh great, now you just made me do it as well...

What's pathetic is how little they really gained. The can has been kicked down the road and the tax fight is not settled. The politicians think they have scored a win but the economists are saying the spending cuts could do more harm than good. Had we had a productive bi-partisan bill the benefits could have been much larger...

I think we may see the GOP distance themselves from the Tea Party in the run up to the 2012 election.
