Republican aides were taken aback by the response to what what they thought was a lighthearted attempt to signal to Iran and the public that Congress should have a role in the ongoing nuclear discussions. Two GOP aides separately described their letter as a “cheeky” reminder of the congressional branch’s prerogatives.

“The administration has no sense of humor when it comes to how weakly they have been handling these negotiations,” said a top GOP Senate aide.

1. This administration takes nuclear discussions seriously, like a grown-up, and

displays a great sense of humor when it is appropriate.

[Kber]

2. I clicked the link expecting satire

but it seems to be straight forward reporting. Or am I being punked? I can usually tell the difference.

Assuming this is real:

Someone actually thought this was funny? Like messing around with negotiations regarding nuclear bombs is a lark?

Kind of like pulling the fire alarm at the middle school dance, and then wondering why all the adults are so annoyed, doncha think?

Two thoughts:

1. Conservatives can't do humor.
2. These people are dangerous.

OK a third thought:
Time to take away these boys' and girls' phones, disconnect the internet, suspend their facebook, twitter and instagram accounts, and ground their asses. They want to act like immature 7th graders, I think we should treat them as such.

in other words: Grow the Fuck Up!

3. Clowns are clowns

They just can't help themselves. Too bad so many are actually, somehow, elected. Somehow.

4. It was 'cheeky' in the sense that 47 GOP Senators showed their ass

But there was nothing funny about it.

15. Excellent analysis, pinboy.

16. I learned from Sarah Palin how to do a comprehensive policy White Paper in tweet length

[Cha]

17. It was spot on.

[Hekate]

20. Oh now I get it: classy butt-cheek humor. Or not.

Jeez what is wrong with these people?

[Marr]

5. I'm amazed that these people would think their interference was somehow

less offensive if it was just a big gag. Trying to sabotage important foreign policy negotiations is twice as bad if you're just doing it flippantly.

For chrissake, it's like a bunch of frat boys are running the show.

[Hekate]

21. Very likely they *are* former frat boys, one and all. nt

6. When did 12-year-olds become eligible to be Senators???

[Hutzpa]

7. Oh, so now it's a joke?

They get busted and now trying to profess it is a joke with a country that is holding on to nuclear weapons.

[monmouth4]

8. If more than one aide used the word "cheeky" then this came from on high from the writers..n/t

[pnwmom]

10. That's what I think. It was such an odd word to use. n/t

[monmouth4]

12. It's a popular word with the Brits but not in our usual vernacular....n/t

[Cha]

14. Now, they're trying to be English.

[Marr]

22. Yep. /nt

[Mosby]

9. The Rush Limbaugh defense.

Pathetic.

[spanone]

11. nice try assholes. cotton doubled down. you own it.

[Cha]

13. "the Adminsistration has no sense of humor.. "?! The whole damn country thinks you're idiots.. as

you've proven. Your silly jokes in your silly clown car needs to go to the principle's office. 7 repubs didn't sign it.. they knew better.

mahalo pnwmom

18. Everyone knows that a little "cheekiness" always enhances nuclear discussions.

[sakabatou]

19. Yeah, it was all shits and giggles

Fuckers
