Oh, the irony:

...as Jason points out, the FDA took issue with the company over the Effexor ad "saying that the company made “unsubstantiated superiority claims.”"

Dana Milbank, WaPo:

House Republicans may be heading off a cliff in November, but give them credit for perseverance.(---)

For House Republicans, the diagnosis is obvious: They are suffering from Election Anxiety Disorder. (---)

John Boehner, the House minority leader, had a similar case of Election Anxiety Disorder when he arrived a few minutes later in the House television studio. "Well, it was another wake-up call," he said of Tuesday's loss in Mississippi, using the same words he used after last week's loss in Louisiana. His eyes watery, Boehner allowed that "we've got to do a better job."

Boo-fricken-hoo. I don't feel one bit sorry for these "do nothing good" republics. Now, they've devolved into nothing but lock-step, goose-step obstructionists:

On Wednesday afternoon, the House had just voted, 412 to 0, to pass H. Res. 1113, "Celebrating the role of mothers in the United States and supporting the goals and ideals of Mother's Day," when Rep. Todd Tiahrt (R-Kan.), rose in protest. (---)

House Minority Leader John Boehner, asked yesterday to explain why he and 177 of his colleagues switched their votes, answered: "Oh, we just wanted to make sure that everyone was on record in support of Mother's Day."

By voting against it?

They've had plenty of time to do a much better job of serving the people. They haven't. Buh-bye. And good riddance to bad rubbish.

The "change" we deserve is getting them out of office.

I hope the DCCC is on the ball enough to run some ads in the districts of Republicans who voted against mother's day.

There definitely is a vast repository of their ironic and double-talking BS that can be used against them, that's for sure.
