Foxx: "My Partisanship Don't Stink!"

Received in my in-box at 2:21 a.m. last night, a press release from Virginia Foxx that was full of self-righteousness and finger-pointing about the government shutdown (which, incidentally, Madam Foxx owns):

WHAT SHE SAID
President Obama, Harry Reid, and Senate Democrats flat-out refused to come to the table to shape a bipartisan solution to keep the government open. I am incredibly disappointed that their ‘our way or the highway’ mindset has carried us past the government funding deadline and started the eighteenth government shutdown.

WHAT SHE MEANT
This Halloween, I'm going as "Angel," the handsome, shy, winged mutant in the "X Men." Actually, I'll be staying in and modeling my wings in my full-length mirror. Haven't gotten any party invitations yet.

......

WHAT SHE SAID
House Republicans worked alone in good faith this weekend to keep the government open.  We also passed an additional provision that ensures active-duty military will continue to be paid in spite of the Senate stalemate.

WHAT SHE MEANT
When I was a child, I was too poor to afford costumes. Sometimes I tried fashioning something out of toe sacks, but no one would give me candy. I still hate them all and will see them in hell.

......

WHAT SHE SAID
As the federal funding deadline approached, House Republicans knew the solution to keep government open had to be bipartisan – that’s the reality when Congress is comprised of a Republican House and a Democrat Senate.

WHAT SHE MEANT
Angel the winged mutant is way cool, and I give him extra, secret powers to shoot rays that melt people's faces. Well, mainly socialists' faces. They're already icky.

......

WHAT SHE SAID
Just as Obamacare passed on purely partisan votes, the President’s legacy of partisanship continues.

WHAT SHE MEANT
I burned down a neighbor's barn once. I'm thinking of doing it again.
