    While House Republicans united to fight Obamacare, besides Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Mike Lee (R-Utah), almost every Senate Republican worked to sabotage the effort. Instead of using their filibuster-strong minority to enable House Republicans to jam the Democrat-controlled Senate with legislation, Senate Republicans empowered Senator Harry Reid (D-Nev.) to jam the House.

    It may be churlish for a New York Democrat to say this, but I believe Hillary Clinton's book is the best thing to happen to George W. Bush since postwar Iraq began to implode.
