Jonathan Chait, who is fast becoming my favorite political pundit, has three pieces up that are worth a read…
This one is about how the continuing good news regarding Obamacare is creating problems for those who predicted it would be a disaster and now must twist themselves and the facts into the shape of Rold-Gold Pretzels to argue otherwise.
This one is about how Jeb Bush's economic proposals are really turning out to be, "Let's do all that stuff my brother did that worked so well but let's do more of it!" And while I'm on this topic, howcome nobody seems to be pointing out something about the former Florida governor's campaign that seems pretty obvious to me? It's that his buttons and banners just read "Jeb!" because he and his handlers decided it wasn't a good idea to remind people of his surname. He seems to have given up on that now.
And lastly, Chait has this article up that covers the "resignation" this morning of John Boehner as Speaker of the House. Chait's title is "Conservatives Hated Boehner Because He Couldn't Get Rid of Obama" and if you read the title, you almost don't have to read the article.
