"If you're gonna say to a hostage-taker 'I'm glad I bid you down from $100,000 to return my child to only $50,000,' well that's a pretty good deal I guess, except the hostage is still there." -@BruceBartlett debating @djrothkopf on the debt limit compromise.

@djrothkopf is such a loser saying negotiating with domestic terrorists & economic hostage takers is a “win.” No U.S. President has ever “won” like that before.

OMG! This actually happened? That’s so weird because I tweeted a comparison of @djrothkopf & @BruceBartlett’s tweets yesterday! I’m sure it’s just a coincidence but if my tweet in any well played a role in instigating this discussion, all the better!
For a fascinating comparison b/w the political mindsets & instincts of Democrats & Republicans (even former Republicans), I suggest reading these threads by @djrothkopf & @BruceBartlett back to back. I think both are great but I gotta say that in this case I'm totally w/ Bruce.
