STILL DOING NOTHIN’. Faux lobbying reform bogs down in the House. The total collapse of the Republicans’ legislative capacity is quite remarkable. John Boehner really needs to trot out some of those awesome Famous People quotes he included in his goofball “For a Majority that Matters” manifesto and get his caucus in line. Perhaps Walt Disney‘s would work: “Of all the things I’ve done, the most vital is coordinating the talents of those who work for us and pointing them towards a certain goal.”
