How the Dems Will Spin a Shutdown

My father, a dyed-in-wool leftist who is visiting Washington this weekend, has a pretty good take on what the Left will say if a shutdown takes place.

My father, a dyed-in-wool leftist who, is coming to visit my wife, my son Andrew, and me this weekend included a PS on the email he just sent to me about trip logistics. It is, I think, a pretty good indication of what the Left will say if a shutdown takes place:

P.S. I had hoped we could take Andrew to the Air and Space Museum this weekend. Or maybe to the zoo. Alas, because of the crazed Republicans, it appears that neither will be open. The Republicans' fault, entirely. One of the many ways they are cruel to children. And Andrew, of course, is white and middle class, and is ensured of an adequate diet. Meaning that poor and minority children have it much worse.
