John Cornyn Rewrites the History of 2009

Republican Senator John Cornyn, who chairs the NRSC, had this to say in the wake of Al Franken's victory today (ht: Kurtz):

The implications of this Senate race are particularly significant because the Democrats will now have 60 votes in the Senate. With their supermajority, the era of excuses and finger-pointing is now over. With just 59 votes, Senate Democrats in recent months have passed trillion-dollar spending bills, driven up America's debt, made every American taxpayer a shareholder in the auto industry and now want Washington to takeover America's health care system. It's troubling to think about what they might now accomplish with 60 votes.

Just five months ago when newly inaugurated President Barack Obama and his horde of 58 Democratic Senators climbed out of the mouth of hell and came into a land called America. In this utopia that was January 2009 America, the auto industry was thriving, there was no national debt and no one had ever seen a budget defecit. The land was at peace and everyone who needed health care was quickly attended to without fear of massive personal debt.

Look what they've done.

And now they have a comedy writer with them. The horror.
