Both parties procedural positions at this moment on the debt limit are so stupid, in their own way, that I really don't know what to say. The GOP's seems more craven and dangerous, but the Dems also seem to be operating in a transparently-hackish fantasyland.
The GOP position can be summed up as "we won't consent to letting you do something alone that you want to do and we want you to do, because we want you to do it alone a different way in order to put an exact number on it."
The Dem position seems to be "we can't do it the way you want us to because you will somehow prevent us from doing the exact thing you want us to do."
None of this changes my basic political assessment of the situation, it's just getting rhetorically dumber by the hour.
