H/T to Jim Simpson at Truth and Consequences (a Maggie's Notebook and FaultlineUSA contributor). Here's Jim's email, which expresses my sentiments, including a very good idea to call Congressman McCotter and thank him for speaking out:
It is hilarious, spoken to the full House, explaining Democrat terms like "progressive" and "revenue enhancement."
Call his office to congratulate him on this rare act of relative courage (for Congressional Republicans). His number is 202-225-8171.
I told his staffer that it is nice to see a Republican showing some guts for a change, and that maybe he should encourage others to follow suit, rather than sitting around with their thumbs up their asses like they are now. The staffer told me, laughing, that the Congressman probably agrees with my sentiments.
