Fox News Analyst Thrashes Congress On The Payroll Tax Deal With Spot-On NFL Analogy

VIDEO

This morning on Fox and Friends, a panel led by Brian Kilmeade discussed the payroll tax cut deal reached by Congress late Thursday. While the consensus was that John Boehner?s job is safe ? and Jon Bramick, a New Jersey lawyer, said that Boehner showed some impressive leadership skills ? it was Dan Gerstein, a Democratic strategist, who stole the show, giving a concise, pointed statement on just how bad things have gotten in Congress.

Gerstein brought up a stellar sports analogy to paint the Congressional picture in its perfect light. He said that, like last weekend?s Arizona Cardinals-Cleveland Browns game in the NFL (the teams are a combined 11-17), this payroll tax cut drama, ?was a meaningless game played by two bad teams that only partisans care about.? He then expounded:

This is the classic example of Washington dysfunction and the lowering of standards. What are Congress? two biggest accomplishments this year? They didn?t let the country default on the national debt and they saved a small puny tax cut that?s going to do nothing to grow the economy. That?s why the American people are disgusted.
