h/t Heather for the video.

Rachel Maddow argues that we should have seen it coming: Jim DeMint's insane threat to shut down the federal government through mis-use of Senate rules is part of a long and nefarious tradition of "government is bad" rhetoric from the Right.

My favorite part:

MADDOW: Mr. DeMint, when you spoke to your guidance counselor in high school, did that person really suggest governing as a good career path for you? Because the country does need running, it does need governing. And if you are against that on principle, then government service maybe shouldn‘t be the right fit for you.

Three things Rachel Maddow doesn't mention: first, the total disconnect within the Right-wing mindset between hating the "government" and depending on the government -- Social Security and Medicare -- for their day-to-day lives.

Secondly, that Jim DeMint is doing this to raise his profile among the completely batty GOP base for 2012.

And finally, that these guys have no idea about karma.
