Bada-bam! As Twitchy reported, the GOP once again caved and struck a deal to increase the debt ceiling and end the shutdown. A deal in which the Democrats offered no concessions. Spineless much? Fox News’ Dana Perino zinged the GOP as only she can.

Dana! @"DanaPerino: RNC set to announce location of next GOP convention…abandoned phone booth. Should be plenty of meeting space in there"

@jonathanweisman Did ya spit out your coffee, Jonathan? I'm sitting here with Jasper cracking us both up.

You are cracking us up too! Of course, a Twitter troll had to come crawling out of the woodwork:
@DanaPerino Do you have a ghost writer for your tweets because that's actually sort of funny? @JohnJHarwood
— John Kane (@Tortured_Verse) October 17, 2013
@Tortured_Verse @JohnJHarwood War on women continues.
— Dana Perino (@DanaPerino) October 17, 2013
Awesome.
@DanaPerino Maybe I think your ghost tweeter is a woman as well? @JohnJHarwood
— John Kane (@Tortured_Verse) October 17, 2013
@Tortured_Verse @JohnJHarwood and boy is she cute.
— Dana Perino (@DanaPerino) October 17, 2013
@DanaPerino Spin as you will, FOX News lackey!! @JohnJHarwood
— John Kane (@Tortured_Verse) October 17, 2013
Dear Tortured Verse: Dana writes her own stuff. Sincerely, Someone Who Covered Her @DanaPerino @Tortured_Verse
— John Harwood (@JohnJHarwood) October 17, 2013
And now for the backpedal:
@JohnJHarwood Lighten up guys! Remember what network Dana works at and realize it was a joke! @DanaPerino
— John Kane (@Tortured_Verse) October 17, 2013
Totally just a joke and stuff. Because, Fox News. Protip dude: Jokes are supposed to be funny.
This Twitter user offers another snark-tastic suggestion:
@DanaPerino they might as well do the GOP convention at a table in the DNC convention
— Rabiddogg (@Rabiddogg) October 17, 2013
Snicker.
@DanaPerino Awesome. You must be butter cause you're on a roll. Good one…
— Gary Owen (@GaryOwen01) October 17, 2013
Oh my! Quite the pick-up line! But, it is the truth. Perino is on a roll:
So the most likely outcome of fiscal talks is to not move — CRs forever.
— Tony Fratto (@TonyFratto) October 17, 2013
@TonyFratto We're number 27! We're number 27!
— Dana Perino (@DanaPerino) October 17, 2013
Ha!
She rounds it out with a snicker-worthy suggestion for Cory Booker (and his imaginary friend), who won the election Wednesday night for the N.J. Senate seat.
A reporter should ask new Sen from New Jersey – do you plan to get a dog in DC? You know, If you want an imaginary friend in Washington….

Keep it coming, Ms. Perino.
