but then, almost exactly a year ago to this day, they published an op-ed piece in "the washington post" headlined, "let's just say it: the republicans are the problem." mann and ornstein argued that democracy and the economy are in a crash dive, and that congressional gridlock was largely the fault of the republican party and its takeover by right wing radicals. what's more, they said, the mainstream media was adding to the problem by resorting to "false equivalency," pretending that both parties were equally at fault. the article was based on their book, "it's even worse than it looks: how the american constitutional system collided with the new politics of extremism." a paperback edition, with a new preface and afterword, will be out later this year. thomas mann is the w. averell harriman chair and a senior fellow in governance studies at the brookings institution. norman ornstein is resident scholar at the american enterprise institute. in their book, "it's even worse than it looks," they predicted, "if president obama gets re-elected but faces either a continuing divided congress o

almost nothing in the "washington post," or the times.erhaps they are less attuned to a story on abortion but the conservative media didn't do much either. it is not like the staunchest pro-choice advocate would defend what he is alleged to have done. this is a gruesome case that both sides have heard is hard to stomach. that is especially true on television. since powers called out the media the coverage is picking up, as it should. >>> when margaret thatcher died i had no problem with the media ripping her record. she was divisive accused of penalizing the poor and battling unions and no need to pretend otherwise. what i have a problem with is the pundits that took joy in her death. there's nothing before or like her since thank god. margaret thatcher's death is mourned by half of the nation and celebrated by the other half. that is mean spirited even if a few lefties danced in the streets she was 87 years old and out of office two decades. >>> fox news.com reporter who had been facing the possibility of going to jail has gotten a repri

tomorrow on cournl washington post political editor

our friend "washington post" political columnist dana milbank is here to sort it all out. i think the president has to look back at the beginning of the sequester and say it was a good idea at the time. now republicans have gotten cuts that he surely want. they got to make the president look bad. no white house tours. as he horrible person and americans are not feeling the pain that would make the leverage as that he can imperative. where are we now? >> well, the sky is falling. it is just falling at a slower pace than we thought before. it is still hovering up there somewhere. it is like what happened through this fall and win. we kept getting forecasts for hurricanes and snowstorm and nothing ever happened. the democrats have created a problem for themselves by sounding alarms, and then it doesn't happen. guess what, the republicans can use that to when there will be larger cuts that really could be devastating. they'll say, look, they're just complaining like they did about the sequester. of course, the cuts will get worse toward the end of the year but it is hard to de

ran on the front page of the "washington post" but still sticks in any memory. one of those -- if the journalism we saw in the united states in the runup to the war left a lot of citizens wanting to credit ulouse, too quick to accept claims of weapons of mass destruction and it would be a cakewalk to rebuild iraqi society there was a lot of really good reportage in the immediate months that followed. and i don't think it -- it was internalized enough. all of the warning signs were out there for what we would then come, as a nation, have to live through for the following few years. >> host: you know, it's changing, the atmosphere. i've covered wars for a long time. the only time i've been a prisoner of war is at the hands of my own guys. but what is interesting is some of the best -- i agree, some of the best reportage were people who were able to avoid it. like during the invasion, gary knight, very good british photographer, shooting for "news week" and got vehicles and got them muddy and markings on the top and came in from kuwait, as unilaterals, which meant

in the "washington post"/abc poll shows there is considerable support for armed guards in schools. this is one of those interesting polls. more typical of politics. 50% support armed guards in school. 48% oppose. mr. cummings, what do you think about that? i mean, sometimes -- i just drove by a local public el meptry school in d.c. this morning. there was a squad car out. i said, that's okay. that's a good thing. i understand why that squad car is parked there. is that a good thing or not, the police are there during school time? >> i think putting more guns, putting guns in schools i don't think is necessarily a good idea. on the other hand, if local jurisdictions want to protect their children that way, fine. the question is, are we creating a false sense of security, number one? number two, who can afford it? i mean, we're cutting back on everything. we're even cutting back on teachers. >> what's wrong with a squad car, the cop, the policeman, he's inside, he's got his handgun, he may have more firepower in the car if something goes wrong? or better yet if a nut goes by, a bad g

later, here we go again, a stunning "washington post" investigation exposes how the administration istrong arming banks. guess what, they want to dish out loans to people that have poor credit. get ready for the next housing bubble bust, part 2. sadly, those details -- by the way, did you know you can get drugs in prison? we've gop the video. got my mantra? trust your instincts to make the call. to treat my low testosterone, my doctor and i went with axiron, the only underarm low t treatment. axiron can restore t levels to normal in about 2 weeks in most men. axiron is not for use in women or anyone younger than 18 or men with prostate or breast cancer. women, especially those who are or who may become pregnant and children should avoid contact where axiron is applied as unexpected signs of puberty in children or changes in body hair or increased acne in women may occur. report these symptoms to your doctor. tell your doctor about all medical conditions and medications. serious side effects could include increased risk of prostate cancer; worsening prostate symptoms; decreased sperm c
