Jim,
To be clear, the  quotation in my posting under the Mann and Ornstein 
headline comes directly  from their oped--these are not my words. The oped itself 
is entitled: "Let's  Just Say It: The Republicans are the Problem."

(http://electionlawblog.org/?p=33593)  

"Dropping their thin pretext of non-partisanship, Mann and Ornstein  
condemn Republicans for being faithful to their conservative principles and  call 
on the already liberal media to drop their thin pretext of impartiality  and 
to join them in their over-the-top bashing of  Republicans."

Regrettably it does not.  Jim Bopp

have been studying Washington  politics and Congress for more than 40 years, 
and never have we seen them  this dysfunctional. In our past writings, we 
have criticized both parties  when we believed it was warranted. Today, 
however, we have no choice but  to acknowledge that the core of the problem lies 
with the Republican  Party….The GOP has become an insurgent outlier in 
American politics. It is  ideologically extreme; scornful of compromise; unmoved 
by conventional  understanding of facts, evidence and science; and 
dismissive of the  legitimacy of its political opposition.” (via _Political Wire_
