A note to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell as the Democrats' "Stimulus Package" moves from the House to the Senate without a single Republican vote:
Dear Senator McConnell,
I'm sure I'm not the first to notice the similarities between the work done by Congress and the labor of certain familiar draft animals. Getting legislative work done must indeed seem like pulling a wagon full of rocks on some days, and the abilities of those who work with you must count for much.
Donkeys and Elephants have a historic reputation for such work. For generations, various cultures have looked for them to get things done. I've seen both pull heavy loads over poor roads until they reach their goals. I've seen Donkeys carry heavy packs, walk impossibly narrow roads between a cliff on one side and an avalanche on the other, jump suddenly on command and form an impregnable circle to defend the herd. I've seen Elephants lift unbelievable burdens, walk faster than most others can run, and balance on one foot while picking a single straw out of a half-ton of hay. These are feats I cannot help but admire.
On the other hand, I've never seen a RINO* that could be trained to do anything. They're just not working animals. A RINO is blundering, intractable, unpredictable and dangerous. To keep them around in flush times as a curiousity is one thing; to expend precious resources on them when times are hard is just foolishness. Fence them in. Cut them off and let them forage for themselves or starve. Then later, if you want to display the stuffed head on the wall, that's fine. But don't waste our scant resources on a rogue beast that serves no useful purpose.
I hope as Minority Leader of the Senate, you'll be able to make the majority party own the upcoming "Stimulus" bill the way your House colleagues did.
Good luck!
