MANIFESTO

“We just can’t afford our state government anymore.”

— Connecticut Governor M. Jodi Rell regarding
the state's current budget impasse

If ever a state's chief executive showed that she has absolutely no inclination to actually—you know—govern, surely Connecticut is so cursed.

This is reminiscent in so many ways of Rachel Maddow's and Kent Jones's tour de force of the other night wherein Jones played the role of Grand Obstructionist Party members who insist they really do want health reform. Likewise, another GOPer, Governor Clubwoman, wants a budget, but doesn't want it to have any money in it.
