...Michael Grunwald's analysis of the sorry state of the Republican Party is the best of many I have read. But he assigns insufficient blame to the figurehead of the party for eight years, Bush, whose faith-based leadership alienated many who believe in secular government. His obstinacy in the face of evolving public opinion in favor of stem-cell research, equality for same-sex couples and women's reproductive rights underscored his failure to feel the pulse of modern America.

When Obama was elected, many of the millions who voted for him wept from a mixture of deep relief and optimism - only to be mocked afterward by Republican pundits, who would begrudge Obama anything. When will they...
...excursion of to New York for dinner and a Broadway show is idiotically attacked as financially wasteful by Republican National Committee, which, if memory serves, registered no public concern about the cost to the public of George W. Bush's 77 jaunts to the Texas boonies where he cut lots of brush, ran around and rode bikes in sweltering heat, and ignored various warnings of impending disasters...
