Cliff Notes, Cantor Couldn’t Dept. (Update) 0

I haven’t had the time to look into the deal on not cliff jumping, but Bob Cesca, who functions in the not insane world, already has published his take.

I’m more interested in process than product (not that product isn’t important, mind, it’s a matter of analytical taste; perhaps that’s what attracted me to history and sociology when I was in school–if my school had given double majors, I would have had one, er, two, er, whatever).

And the process was clearly a win for sanity–Democrats by and large held together and Republicans did not.

Do not expect the incidence of Republican political vandalism, of mean for the sake of mean to diminish.

Addendum, Later That Same Morning:

Read Der Spiegel’s take on it. A nugget:

It’s not America itself that is ill, but rather a party. When one party in a two-party system begins to block everything, the outcome is predictable: the system falters and paralyzes itself.
