Reply #2: Bill's been in DC before, knows the territory

[ChairmanAgnostic]

but he does not know the gnu and improved GOP Tea Bagger Ltd Express. And that train has run right over him. Making nicely nicely with them is impossible. Negotiating with them is counterproductive. Treating them as sane, albeit political opponents, instead of demented, irrational, illiterate, sheeple scared into certain behaviors by Rush and Billo, is just plain stupid.

Ergo, Bill was doomed to fail. He should recognize that and resign. But he won't.
