Gail Collins today
Here's a great column from Gail Collins of the NY Times:
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/18/opinion/republicans-see-how-long-they-can-hold-their-breath.html?action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=opinion-c-col-left-region®ion=opinion-c-col-left-region&WT.nav=opinion-c-col-left-region
My favorite line:
"People, do you remember what Mitch McConnell used to say when he was the powerless Senate minority leader? Of course you don’t. There’s just so much stuff that fits into a human brain and no reason whatsoever that McConnell should be taking up space."
