False Equivalence Watch: CNN: Gov't Shutdown if GOP and Dems "Don't Stop Bickering"

link

Just over a week remains. If the Democrats and Republicans don't stop bickering and agree to how the U.S. should pay its bills, the federal government will shut down, come October 1.

Because, of course, that's exactly what's happening. GOP...Democrats...six of one, half a dozen of the other... If they'd just compromise already, everything would be fine...

Why can't the irenic centrists and the maniacal, dogmatic extremists hellbent on ruining the economy just meet in the middle for chrissake?

I mean, that's what they should have done in Birthergate...  All that bickering over whether Obama was born in Hawaii or Kenya...they should have just compromised on, like, Venezuela or something. Problem solved! But no... Nothing but bicker, bicker, bicker like a couple of school kids. I swear...
