From The “Oops” File.

To show how Republicans are the party of reasonableness and political virtue, Jennifer Rubin exclaims:

[David] Brooks opined that Republicans were incapable of compromise. He argued that if a deficit deal with 99 percent spending cuts and 1 percent tax hikes were proposed, they’d reject it. Well, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell just brokered a deal that includes a year extension of unemployment benefits. Frankly, the tax agreement doesn’t give the Republicans 99 percent of what they wanted (maybe 90 percent) and yet they willingly made the deal. Perhaps, Brooks has underestimated the degree to which canny deal-makers are now in charge of the Republican House and Senate caucuses.

Republicans are also in revolt over this thing! Oops!
