Lindsey Graham said something . . . HONEST? *clutches chest*

"We really did go too far. We screwed up."

—Senator Lindsey Graham (Republican, South Carolina)

"Why were the rules rigged to keep the government shut down? Democracy has been suspended!"

There was a time that any representative would have had the right to bring the CR up for a vote. Ah, but on September 30, 2013, the House Rules Committee Republicans changed the rules so that the ONLY Member allowed to call up the Senate's clean CR for a vote was Majority Leader Eric Cantor. Not even Speaker of the House John Boehner could do it!

Result: The government shut down a few hours later and STAYED shut down.

Congressman Chris Van Hollen (Democrat, Maryland) decided to get a clarification on the rules of the shutdown. Watch the whole thing, or pick this up at 4:50. Either way, Van Hollen rocks it.

John Boehner... *facepalm*

This guy pulls down a couple of hundred thousand votes in Ohio, and somehow John Boehner is the third most powerful person in the nation?

Oy.

A few lowlights.
1:47 Stephanoupolis question, Boehner evasion.
3:04 Boehner is confronted with accepting an offer than reneging on it...and then he runs like a motherfucker.
4:15 His hypocrisy revealed for the third time, Boehner just looks like an clown.

Elizabeth Warren KILLS it.
