Drum is repulsed while “watching Republican pols and conservative pundits get on their high horses about Syria”:
There are some Republicans who are perfectly serious about their desire not to get entangled in yet another Middle Eastern conflict. But most of them couldn’t care less. Obama is for it, so they’re against it.
I know. It’s deranged. But they get all their news from Fox. Tyler Cowen makes peace with the Republican obstructionists:
[T]he net effect of having unreasonable, obstructionist Republicans could well be welfare-improving on a massive global scale, all things considered. You might prefer to “have your cake and eat it too,” namely by having “reasonable but wise on Syria” Republicans, but that was never on the menu.
I’m fine with it too.
