Republicans: On A Train Bound For Nowhere

Little Mo just returned from a dangerous undercover mission: he was the pool mole spying on last night’s super-secret meeting between John Boehner, Mitch McConnell and Harry Reid. To avoid the regular LSM pool press, Bone-Man and Mitch took the Metro to the meeting, riding in a “private” car on the BLUE line, running from Largo Town Center (on the Right) to Franconia-Springfield (on the Left).

As Boehner reached for another Marlboro, the door between cars opened and a shadowy figure,wearing a Stetson, slowly walked in past the security guards. Stunned, they sat in silence as the man sat down in the seat across from them and stared out the window...

So I handed him my bottle
And he drank down my last swallow
Then he bummed a cigarette
And asked me for a light
And the night got deathly quiet
And his faced lost all expression
He said, "If you're gonna play the game, boy

And when he finished speakin'

Crushed out his cigarette
And faded off to sleep

I found an ace that I could keep
