They can't seem to admit that a large proportion of American conservatives are batshit crazy. The new book by Norman Ornstein and Thomas Mann tells an obvious truth:
We have been studying Washington politics and Congress for more than 40 years, and never have we seen them this dysfunctional. In our past writings, we have criticized both parties when we believed it was warranted. Today, however, we have no choice but to acknowledge that the core of the problem lies with the Republican Party.Greg Sargent wondered why these two weren't invited on the Sunday talk shows and this is what he learned:
As Bob Somerby and Kevin Drum note, these are among the most quoted people in Washington — yet suddenly this latest topic is too hot for the talkers, or not deemed relevant at all.
I ran this thesis by Ornstein himself, and he confirmed that the book’s publicity people had tried to get the authors booked on the Sunday shows, with no success.
“Not a single one of the Sunday shows has indicated an interest, and I do find it curious,” Ornstein told me, adding that the Op ed had well over 200,000 Facebook recommends and has been viral for weeks. “This is a level of attention for a book that we haven’t received before. You would think it would attract some attention from the Sunday shows.’

You are being entirely too ungenerous. Dennis Kucinich is one of the few Democrats who aren't deserving of similar diagnosis.
Naaaa, since I'm not a liberal, I'll just call the warmongering pure evil.
