Drudge: House Dem calls Republicans 'jihadists'...
Republicans are uttering a word that for 12 years has been utterly unspeakable. Shutdown. Its a word that can send shudders through those who saw the last one actually, two play out after Republicans took control of Congress in 1995. The Newt Gingrich-Bill Clinton standoff was so traumatic that since then, neither party has ventured anywhere in that direction. This years appropriations tug-of-war between a new majority in Congress and a president of the opposing party does not appear to be headed for a government shutdown, but a rhetorical taboo was lifted when the word became part of the partisan message of the moment.
