Demagogue

Yesterday, I ran across this newspaper column in which the House Republican leadership was described as:

1. "on the brink of committing an act of supreme irrationality"

2. having committed an "election debacle"

3. "chained to special corporate interests represented by K Street lobbyists," and

4. "For good reason, the GOP often is called 'the stupid party.' "

Are these the assessments of a columnist named Arianna Huffington? Paul Begala? Eleanor Clift? Bob Herbert?

None of the above. Believe it or not, this scathing assessment of the House GOP leadership is coming from this staunch conservative.
