When is the right time for partisan politics? Wrong question if you're asking the American left. The right question would be, "Is it ever not the right time?"
The answer? Of course not.
When a nuclear-armed madman is threatening to strike U.S. territories and possibly even the U.S. mainland, that would seem to be an obvious time to clamp down on the partisan B.S. Maybe the time to sell Americans on the contrived notion of a White House in total chaos is not when the nation could really use a united front against a very dangerous and unstable enemy. Let the crisis pass and then you can go back to stories about alleged dysfunction that rely entirely on cowardly turncoats too afraid to give their names.
