I Timed It: One Can say "The GOP Is Nuts" At Least Fifteen Times in Thirty Seconds

"What is, Because one can be boundlessly crazy and not pay a price for it?"

Ding-ding-ding.

"Alex, I'll take 'Republican Antics' again, since all the correct question-answers in this category appear to be identical."

That seems to be the best and notionally shortest response to Chris Matthews' and Eugene Robinson's co-bewilderment last night, as they sat and pondered why, for heaven's sake why, Republican pols and their ideological allies persist in ratcheting up the lunacy. [...]

What, again, was your question, Messrs. Matthews and Robinson? Something about why Republican pols are behaving like unmedicated lunatics? Because one can be boundlessly crazy -- or at the very least reflect the otherworldly views of the boundlessly crazy -- and not pay a price for it. [...]

And we'll stay on this downward trajectory, right up to a replanted lunatic majority in Congress -- with subpoena power, no less -- until Democrats nationalize the election with one simple but endlessly repeated observation, floating superimposed over Barton, Boehner & Co. insights: The GOP is nuts.
