Rep. Jack Kingston (R-GA): It's Obama's fault. And the Democrats.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

He's on with Michael Smerconish, filling in for Tweety on "Hardball."

Says that Obama "threw down the gauntlet," the Republicans were on board with a one-year extension, and were "surprised" when the two-month solution came up.

Smerconish is asking him about Scott Brown's statement.

Kingston says "two month solution is not in the interest of the American people," that Republicans are "willing to negotiate" and "we're gonna get this thing done."

2. The Republican Base

Will flip their Sh*t and implode if they found out about the stats.

That would actually be prettycool now that I think about it. Like a weird-arse whale song and fireworks culminating in GDP growth.

Gathering the stats now, running to library.

3. Seriously...........

Every time these republican congressmen open their mouths lies run out. At least Smerconish pushed back ever so slightly by saying that previously the republicans rejected supporting the extension and now they have completely reversed themselves.

Kingston is one of the worst. He makes my skin crawl.
