That's not the point. I just thought McCain was expressing an original thought, and it turns out he was just expressing someone else's original thought. That's not very original on the part of McCain.
John McCain essentially told the tea party idiots what I've been telling you idiots,
that the Republicans ONLY control the House. They don't control the presidency or the Senate,
but they're obstinately, insanely, acting as though their politically impossible agenda is somehow possible.
Two things:
1. Elections have consequences and
2. We won
Is being called hobbits supposed to be a bad thing?

He called them hobbits because they are living in a fantasy world.
Washington (CNN) - On the same day that House Speaker John Boehner told Republicans to "Get your asses in line" and support his debt ceiling proposal, Sen. John McCain also blasted fellow Republicans.
In a Senate floor speech laced with sarcasm and stings, the Arizona Republican aimed especially harsh fire at the tea party Wednesday.
McCain said the movement is "foolish" to think a balanced budget amendment could pass before the August 2 deadline. At one point, McCain read from an op-ed in Wednesday's Wall Street Journal. That article referred to activists as "tea party hobbits" the little people who inhabit Middle-earth in the Lord of the Rings series.
McCain 2008's Republican presidential nominee also blasted as "bizarre" an idea supported by current GOP presidential candidate Michele Bachmann, though McCain did not mention her by name.
