Sometimes All You Can Do Is Laugh

Via John Cole, this stellar bit of Republican something or other (I really can't think of a word that adquately describes this), regarding the problems with the DC transit system and the Tea Party last weekend:

[Rep. Kevin Brady (R-Neverneverland)] didn’t directly answer when I asked him whether it was contradictory to expect government to do more — at potentially increased taxpayer expense — to meet the needs of a protest organized around opposition to government spending.

Read Greg Sargent's whole piece -- it's short. The degree of denial is breathtaking.
