I posted this elsewhere, but blaming the Tea Party for the downgrade is like an alcoholic blaming his wife, who just started to suggest he has a drinking problem, for his cirrhosis.

. . . blaming the Tea Party for the downgrade is like an alcoholic blaming his wife, who just started to suggest he has a drinking problem, for his cirrhosis.

Good one.

Or like I told my bro-in-law today:

It's like waking up at night to find there's a pile of cr@p on the floor because someone shined a flashlight on it, and blaming the person with the flashlight.
