Do you remember Kelly's Heroes?
Kelly (Clint Eastwood) and his group of WW II freebooters have gone behind enemy lines with the aim of robbing a bank loaded with Nazi gold -- but they find the bank guarded by a near invincible Tiger tank.
Crapgame (Don Rickles) urges that instead of a hopeless fight that puts their single Sherman tank against the Tiger: "Make a DEAL!"
Big Joe (Telly Savalas): "What kind of deal?"
Crapgame: "A DEAL, DEAL! Maybe the guy’s a Republican. Business is business, right?"
And so, after a brief parley, the Tiger tank is show blowing the doors off the bank, giving them all access to a large pile of gold bars.
Alas, when there is a pile of our gold bars at stake, the Republican leadership often seem to cut a deal even if they are sitting in the political equivalent of a Tiger tank.
