Breaking: Charlie Brown walks away, Lucy left holding football and whines that he "pulled the rug from under her." Lucy is appalled that, after they had agreed that this time she would not pull the ball away at the last minute and Charlie Brown was just about to start running for his kick, Charlie Brown had the gall to walk away because he suspected Lucy would pull the ball after all.
OK,OK, who cares about that? The story is the same, but it involves Harry Reid as Charlie Brown and Mitch McConnell as Lucy.
