Ya Think?

Krugman today:

The problem with American politics right now is Republican extremism, and if you’re not willing to say that, you’re helping make that problem worse.

WaPo conservative blogger Jennifer Rubin underscores the point:

A House aide just e-mailed me: “Buckets of crazy.” That’s as good an explanation as any as to why Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-Ohio) won’t be able to hold a vote tonight on his debt-ceiling bill. The burn-the-building-down set is weakening, but the speaker is still short on votes.

A GOP witness to intraparty wrangling Thursday over Boehner's bill observes to Rubin, "Yeah, I don't think this is very well thought out."
