Washington Post: Republicans Owe Capitol Police A Paycheck And Apology After Shooting

Apparently this will become a meme (at least for me) as the sorta-shutdown continues, with the Washington Post Editorial Board sipping the sweet sweet kool-aid of demagoguery.

NBC Makes Up Quote For Michele Bachmann: “I’m quitting my House seat in 2014”
