So earlier, I wrote about Rahm just stepping up and punching back at our beloved Veep, and I'm still amused by it. I found video, however, of Republicans scurrying around and trying to cover up Darth Cheney's imbroglio.

1. So here's Rahm discussing his amendment:

2. Here's Minority Whip Roy Blunt trying to rebut:

Here are the problems with Blunt's rebuttal.

a. While everyone in the Congress, the country and the rest of the world may know which branch of government hosts Darth Cheney, he, apparently, does not. It was Cheney who claimed that he's a special snowflake, at large branch of government without portfolio. (Think Fuzors!) So having Blunt stand up there and say that everyone knows that Cheney's in the Executive Branch is meaningless. It's also non-responsive.

b. There's a certain irony in Republicans claiming that an ironic amendment or piece of legislation is unfair. IOKIYAR.

Apparently, there's a part three. Blunt just cannot get enough of saying stupid things on the House floor.

a. Rahm is amazing. "I'll try not to be Talmudic."

b. Blunt is just being an idiot here. Of course the legislative branch ponders intent and meaning while passing the laws.

c. Rahm's dead right, as usual.

Now, the really funny thing about this is that the boys at RedState think that Rahm got schooled. Go figure. I guess Republicans figure that just making noises with your mouth is enough to answer a question.
