Did they read the bill???

Republicans asked for the following, in exchange for reopening the government and lifting the debt ceiling: Defund Obamacare, delay Obamacare, delay individual mandate, deny coverage for the president, deny coverage to the cabinet, deny coverage to congressional staffers, deny birth-control coverage, approve keystone pipeline, means testing for Medicaid, change federal employee pensions, expand oil drilling, block net neutrality, tort reform, weaken regulations for coal-fired power plants, tax code changes, thwart EPA coal regulations, repeal medical device tax, change rules on debt ceiling. What they got was means testing for Medicaid, which was already in the bill...we thinks they didn't read the bill.

The Faux News Network Principles


A) We distort, you abide
B) Or we retort if you deride, unless we choose not to
C) Complete sentences are acceptable in lieu of complete truths
D) It’s OK to criticize the 2006 Democratic Congress for all America’s problems since 2001
E) We shoot from the flip
F) We’re not always accurate but we’re always certain
G) On what we feel is wrong in this world, we can’t stop people from saying I don’t agree or I don’t care, but we won’t let them say I didn’t know
H) The director’s board has a whim of irony
I) In times of emergency, we should rally around our President: In times of democracy he should do the same for us
J) We proudly plagiarize in advance, examples available upon request
K) It’s easy to be fun-based when you’re fact based
L) Good news parody makes for good news parity
M) And, of course, our goal is and always will be to be the most trusted name in Faux News
