WASHINGTON, DC - After criticizing the economic stimulus plan, Republicans have chained themselves to doors of the Capital Building to block its passing.

Currently no one can enter or exit the Capital as Republican leaders have chained themselves to every major entryway.

The audacious demonstration was led by John McCain who shouted to reporters, “I’m still relevant! See!? I’m still relevant!!!”

If those four are the GOP leaders, the GOP is in one big heap of trouble.

Knew it was satire when I saw McCain ... he’d be doing the shackling of the other Republicans.

John, John, John,.....

All humor aside, if he ever thinks he can be a “maverick” again, and can start being a fiscal hawk, it’s a tad bit too late. The cat is out of the bag when it comes to these stimulus packages. He had his shot last year and he punted like a third string backup.

To McCain, being a “maverick” means backstabbing conservatives. What next John? Perhaps a twist of the knife next time?

The Republicans must have attended Barry's street-thug training hosted by ACORN on how to intimidate folks such as blocking doors at banks, and harassing bankers at their homes. Kudos to the Republicans for using Barry's tactics from a former life. You never know when those skills could come in handy. I will draw the line, however, if they start taking lessons from Billy-the-Bomber.
