Bring back Newt
At last
The right-wing nuts have come along
Now the House is at a standstill
Moderates, they don't belong
At last
We see that nobody's in charge

Legislation won't get passed
Probably is the best outcome
Total gridlock at last

Lockstep agreement should trouble us, not the reverse. At least as far as I can see.
But don't color me too impressed by just a couple of firecrackers going off on the 4th of July.
