I know it was a really long tennis match, but still!
USA Today: Both parties, but Republicans especially, have been talking a lot about the national debt in recent months. Rep. Vern Buchanan, R-Fla., managed to use this week’s extraordinarily long match at Wimbledon to put that concern into perspective.
Shortly after the 11-hour, five-minute match between American John Isner and Nicolas Mahut, of France, Buchanan posted the following to Twitter: “Think Wimbledon tickets are expensive? Our National Debt has gone up by $1,729,000,000 during the Isner v. Mahut match #USA.”
Lord, help us.
On the bright side – the American won.
