At first sight it couldn't be a more depressing sight, or more of a nightmare.
Team Mitch McConnell and his ghastly Republican tea baggers, seizing control of Congress, and promising to bring change to America.

One moment he's Great Warrior Leader, a legend in his own mind.
The next moment he's a Republican Tea Bagger denouncing the "liberal elites."
