The Arroyo Is In Production

‘All This Is About Who Gets the Blame.’

by Smitty Charles Krauthammer on Fox News All-Stars, in the context of the debt ceiling fracas: On whether House Republicans have enough power to force a politically successful outcome: I think what we’re losing sight of here is in the end, all this is about who gets the blame.
