So Much Wit

Paul Krug­man, writ­ing for the New York Times on the debt ceil­ing negotiations:

So what was the head­line on an Asso­ci­ated Press analy­sis of that break­down in nego­ti­a­tions? “Obama, Repub­li­cans Trapped by Inflex­i­ble Rhetoric.” A Demo­c­ra­tic pres­i­dent who bends over back­ward to accom­mo­date the other side — or, if you pre­fer, who leans so far to the right that he’s in dan­ger of falling over — is treated as being just the same as his utterly intran­si­gent oppo­nents. Balance!

Read the whole piece. Also, “intran­si­gent” is my word for the rest of the day. Mine, you hear?
