Heartache

After GOP crocodile tears over the SOTU, it's a treat to see how appalled they were the next day, when Iran released captive U.S. sailors.

The release was followed by U.S. lifting of sanctions. For all the administration's shortcomings, the thaws with Iran and with Cuba are true accomplishments.

It won't shut off right-wing screaming; still, it's so enjoyable to see their angst at being deprived of a hostage crisis for this campaign season.
