You won't be disappointed

Expect the worst from the Republicans.

[T]he White House should imagine Republicans being as reckless, irresponsible, ignorant, ill-tempered and child-like as humanly possible -- and then expect that to happen, because it probably will.

Why would they change what worked so well for them? Have they appeared at any time in the past 18 years to be motivated by anything besides power or constrained by conscience or fellow-feeling?
