Read This Now - Our Political System Is Broken And It's The GOP's Fault

You know things are really starting to get out of hand when even the big guns from the AEI agree that the Republicans are to blame for the dysfunctional state of Congress and politics in general...

We have been studying Washington politics and Congress for more than 40 years, and never have we seen them this dysfunctional. In our past writings, we have criticized both parties when we believed it was warranted. Today, however, we have no choice but to acknowledge that the core of the problem lies with the Republican Party.

That's from this past weekend's WaPo piece from Thomas Mann and Norm Ornstein who were also on NPR this morning to talk about the problem and their new book, appropriately titled It's Even Worse Than It Looks. Be sure to check out both stories in their entirety.
