In the early 3rd century B.C., after King Pyrrhus of Epirus again took brutal casualties in defeating the Romans, he told one person who offered congratulations, “If we are victorious in one more battle with the Romans, we shall be utterly ruined.” In his more sober moments, Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), about to achieve his lifelong ambition of becoming Senate majority leader, may wonder whether he, too, has achieved a pyrrhic victory.
Republicans are still crowing about the sweeping victories in 2014 that give them control of both houses of Congress. They will set the agenda, deciding what gets considered, investigated and voted on. Their ideas will drive the debate.
But Republicans have no mandate because they offered no agenda. Republicans reaped the rewards of McConnell’s scorched-earth strategy, obstructing President Obama relentlessly, helping to create the failure that voters would pin on the party in power. But the collateral damage is that the “party of ‘no’ ” has no agreement on what is yes. Instead of using the years in the wilderness to develop new ideas and a clear vision, Republicans have used them only to sharpen their tongues, grow their claws and practice their backhands....

Her husband is cut from the same cloth. Stephen F. Cohen, professor at N.Y.U. and a Russian/Soviet apologist of the first order. He frequently reminds me of Walter Duranty (N.Y.T.) who failed to report the famine in the Ukraine at the hands of the Soviet Union.
If you want to see how corrupt the world view of these two are, check out the article form the New Republic article by Isaac Chotiner (March 2, 2014), “Meet Vladimir Putin's American Apologist”. A quote from the article reminds me of both Cohen and Katrina vanden Heuvel "He is well-informed, and yet also completely clueless."

Someone tell Katrina that Halloween is over.
I mean Jeesh:
“Republicans will taste their bitter hahvest....”

Who talks like this?
If some old broad were to walk up to you and say “The Republicans will soon taste their bitter harvest.” you’d look at her like she was some kind of Squeaky Fromme. Is she racking a slide about to fire a bullet into me?
If you asked what in blazes she means by that and her answer began with “In the early 3rd century B.C., after King Pyrrhus of Epirus again took brutal casualties in defeating the Romans...” you’d be looking for the nearest exit.
Wow. What a crazy old broad. Is one of California’s women’s correctional facilities missing one of their Manson girls or what?
The Republican mandate is the one the GOP-E doesn't want to embrace: stop Barack Obama.
Cruz is about 6 months from neutralizing the gope-STAB RINOs.
It will be 1980 all over again. RATS shrieking about how stupid the voters are OOPS can’t do that, it was scared Dems giving the Conservatives the mandate!
This is what’s really hurt them. All these years of shaping minds to their commie thinking.. just BUSTED OUT of and away from Marxism.
Eat it, Katrina. You LOST.

Her mouth looks puckered from sucking Obama’s a$$.
Where is that graphic of Cartman and the bitter, salty tears?
She can’t even get her history straight. Her analogy is irrelevant.
I knew someone would post it. Thanks!
1. Arrogant
2. Wrong
Found her picture.
Your side lost, honey...learn it, live it, love it.
Agendists don’t learn from their defeats. They only up the attack.
That’s what I’m watching for.. who is upping the attack.
It appears she has.
Sounds like a comic book villain.
