Zero equivalence

Not often I feel like quoting Joe Klein, but even as he admits he loves himself a good Democrat bashing, he says this:

There is zero equivalence here. The vast majority of Democrats have been more than reasonable, more than willing to accept cuts in some of their most valued programs.


The Republicans have been willing to concede nothing. Their stand means higher interest rates, fewer jobs created and more destroyed, a general weakening of this country’s standing in the world. Osama bin Laden, if he were still alive, could not have come up with a more clever strategy for strangling our nation.

No doubt in my mind. Osama bin Laden is surely laughing uproariously from his watery grave.
