Back-handed compliment

In the midst of exorciating the Republican-led Senate for the new Medicare bill (and actually just for existing), EJ Dionne is moved to offer grudging (very grudging) praise: "The moral, yet again, is that Republicans are much tougher than Democrats and fight much harder to win."

I realize he doesn't mean it a a compliment, but I have only one response: Word.
