Forget The Slurpees

Thomas Mann isn't known as an angry partisan, so this might surprise some Villagers:
“There is simply no basis for meaningful bipartisan leadership meetings today,” Brookings scholar and congressional expert Thomas Mann told me. “Republicans are determined to defeat Obama in 2012; they have no interest in negotiating with him in order to provide him any sort of victory. This is a partisan war and the Republicans are playing to win. The only question is how long it will take Obama to accept this reality and act accordingly.”
On the other hand, if you read the whole article, it's clear that the writer was completely oblivious to what he was saying, so who knows? Maybe even Thomas Mann is a dirty hippie blogger now.
