Frank Rich Explains The Republicans

As is usually the case, Rich puts most of the other NYTimes columnists to shame (Krugman excepted, of course). Here he talks about whatever the hell it is the Republicans are doing nowadays.

The current G.O.P. acts as if it — and we — have all the time in the world. It kept hoping in vain that the fast-waning Blago sideshow would somehow impale Obama or Rahm Emanuel. It has come perilously close to wishing aloud that a terrorist attack will materialize to discredit Obama’s reversals of Bush policy on torture, military tribunals and Gitmo. The party’s sole consistent ambition is to play petty politics to gum up the works.
