GOP: All Ferrets in Love and War

Gail Collins in her Thursday column probes John Boehner's "Plan B"--which sounds like a dental plan, she notes--and claims it only saved Obama from ever more outrage from the left (for now) because he rejected the president's cave-in on Social Security and moving his taxes on rich upwards. 
At least the president made a serious offer while Boehner put up ... Plan B. Which does virtually nothing but continue the Bush tax cuts for those making less than $1 million a year. Everything else goes over the cliff. Laid-off workers getting extended unemployment benefits. Doctors treating Medicare patients.
Honestly, it sounded like something that Eric Cantor typed up on his smartphone on the way over from his office.
Nick Kristof's Thursday column replies to critics of his earlier piece calling for crackdown on guns.
