    The problem in our politics is not polarization. It is a Republican Party that has become so radical and devoid of compassion in its pursuit of power that it ignores facts, turns a blind eye to abuse, and submits to the whims of an unstable leader.

    As a father I find this "boys-will-be-boys" nonsense unexpectedly hard to take. It's an insult to all decent men who were decent even when they were young and drunk. And you know what, it doesn't even take an effort.
