Boom: CBS host calmly obliterates Republican talking points on government shutdown
Face the Nation’s host Bob Schieffer on CBS obliterated Senate Minority Whip John Cornyn (R-TX) while discussing the current government crisis.
Schieffer likened their strategy to, “I’m going to throw a brick through your window unless you give me $20.” In his typically calm, relaxed demeanor, Schieffer obliterated Cornyn’s talking points.

SCHIEFFER: The law has been passed. Why not keep the government running and then everybody can sit down and decide what they want to do about it.Watch courtesy of CBS:
CORNYN: Well there should be a negotiation, and this government would still be up and running in full if President –if Harry Reid had allowed Democrats to vote to eliminate the Congressional carve-out which treats them favorably under Obamacare and to treat average Americans the same way the President has decided to treat business with regard to Obamacare penalties.
SCHIEFFER: Senator, isn’t there something wrong when you say I won’t fund the government unless I can attach my personal wish list to the legislation every time we vote? I’d love to see the government find a cause, uh, cure for cancer, but I don’t think you can say I’m not going to pass and pass any funds for the rest of the government until [the National Institutes of Health] finds a cure for cancer. I mean, isn’t that just kind of the same thing here.
