Suddenly, Republicans on Capitol Hill are talking like a bunch of baby-kissing Quentin Tarantino characters. First, it was John McCain dropping an F-bomb on one of his esteemed colleagues, the gentleman from Texas. Now, it’s John Boehner using some colorful language to make an important point. According to Hotline, at a private gathering the Minority leader said,

"I promised the President today that I wouldn't say anything bad about ... this piece of s**t (immigration) bill."

By the way, the same Hotline article reports,

A senior Republican official said yesterday that while the chances of the bill, which opens pathways to citizenship for most of the U.S.'s 12 million illegal immigrants, are "50/50" in the House and that the White House would spend its time lobbying Democrats, rather than Republicans, to achieve a majority.

In case you’re keeping score at home, this bill has gone from a slam dunk a week ago to 50-50 today. It’s all because of you. Keep those phone calls, emails and letters coming and this bill will sleep with the fishes soon enough. Go silent, and it will become law.
