Boom? Achieved! As Twitchy reported, Nancy Pelosi upped her usual absurdity by claiming that the cupboard is totally bare so nothing can be cut. Sarah Palin gave her the business as only she can.
Now citizens are basking in the shutdown schadenfreude. Nothing to cut, Pelosi? Oh, really?
Two days ago Pelosi said we had nowhere else to cut, today the #HarryReidShutdown identifies non-essential personnel. #Fearmonger

Snicker.
The pre-shutdown scramble to be labeled an "essential" govt employee underway on Cap Hill. Wish I had $ to hire "non-essential" employees.

Seriously.
Some suggestions for more cutting:
@IngrahamAngle Obama, Reid, Pelosi, top 3 'non-essential' Feds.

Heh.
And an exit question for the win:
Curious: how many businesses have 800,000 non-essential employees?
