6th Graders Try to Explain Debt Debacle...End up Bashing Boehner & Tea Party
"The big boisterous, little baby, can't-listen-to-anybody, um, Tea Party people..."
We're not sure which news network these young kids have been tuning into (or, rather, which one their parents have been exposing them to) during the nation's debt debate, but you can certainly watch for yourself and let us know your thoughts.
The two 6th graders shared their take on "how the debt deal went down." Of course, the two young-ins had some less-than favorable things to say about the Tea Party and some top Republicans. Watch the New York Magazine-produced video, below, then read on to see some quotes worth noting:
Here are some of the highlights (there's plenty more within the clip):
- "They're acting like kids...who like...um...only have three video games and they want more..." (they were referring, here, to everyone -- not just Republicans -- involved in the debt ceiling debate)
- "There's this orange, crying, drinking, smoking dude called John Boehner..."
- "The big, boisterous, little baby, can't-listen-to-anybody, um, Tea Party people..."
- "This old, turtle-faced dude named Mitch McConnell."
Now, how about those news network guesses? Post your thoughts in the comments section (hint: Fox News is probably not a viable option).
