Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) gave a blistering assessment of the White House’s budget proposal, telling the Wall Street Journal that the deal offered by Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner on Thursday was “almost comical.”

“He noticed that I laughed. That pretty well summed up my view of what he was saying,” McConnell said on Friday, adding that he thought it must have been “demeaning” for Geithner to put such a plan forward.
