No, that's not what I mean.
I have commanded you before to refrain from rephrasing what I say....because you've never once gotten it right.
Now, I'm putting you on notice: Do not trifle with the majestic words of King Cedric.....or else!

And then once all the dust has settled and people are no longer paying attention,write special bills that get passed on a voice vote with no press notifications to do what they wanted to do all along.

I know I'll get flamed for this but I have no problem with the super-committee.
super-committee's don't work it is all for political show even Newt will tell you that:
Ok,so they are no different or more harmful than the regular congressional committees.

That wasn't due to a super committee. The sequester was a poison pill that Zero insisted on to force the GOP to capitulate later down the road. It is pure luck that the Regime wasn't able to exploit that to any advantage. Also if you recall from that deal the GOP agreed to RAISE TAXES for the first time I can ever remember. That was swell.
