Austin Bomber Dead, Fiscal Conservatism is Dead, Congratulate-Gate

Subscribe to 3 Martini LunchSubscribe

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America briefly grouse about D.C.area drivers in inclement weather before sipping their martinis. Then, they welcome the end of the Austin mail bombing horrors as the suspect apparently blows himself up as police close in on him. They also fume as the GOP-led Congress pursues yet another omnibus spending bill with virtually no fiscal restraint in sight, leading Jim to declare that "fiscal conservatism is dead." And they sigh as President Trump defies his staff to congratulate Vladimir Putin on "winning" his election and because a disgruntled Trump staffer then leaked classified information to the media.
