Charles Krauthammer is an animatronic cadaver dummy that swings in the wind as a Faux News contributor and weathervane of the latest partisan republican talking points.

I'm not hearing a lot of love for "the Hammer" ! 

(BTW, I don't care for him either !)

 

You can tell what party has a majority in the senate by listening to a talking head rant about the filibuster.

I dunno. One man's "gridlock" is another's protection against tyranny by the majority.
