The reason that last-ditch political maneuvering has become business as usual in Washington is that the actors involved are drunk on blame and are convinced that the voting public is, too.

Der Grund für das politische Manöver der letzten Stunde ist in Washington üblich geworden, weil die beteiligten Akteure betrunken sind und davon überzeugt sind, dass auch das stimmberechtigte Publikum dies ist.
