NYT:

The world's nuclear wannabes, starting with Iran, should send a thank you note to Senator Jon Kyl. After months of negotiations with the White House, he has decided to try to block the lame-duck Senate from ratifying the New Start arms control treaty.
The treaty is so central to this country's national security, and the objections from Mr. Kyl - and apparently the whole Republican leadership - are so absurd that the only explanation is their limitless desire to deny President Obama any legislative success.

What's a little global destabilization if it means it might give the GOP a chance to put Sarah Palin into the White House? And Democrats, clearly the problem here is that you're not being bi-partisan enough.

This is an Open Thread.
