Stick Bipartisanship Where The Sun Doesn’t Shine
If you haven’t read it, check out Digby’s Campaign Promises.
I received an e-mail from Media Matters on this issue and the distortions circulating in the media.
There is no way the Democratic leadership in Congress can make the Republicans behave themselves and work to get things done. A look at the record of the 109th Congress tells you all you need to know about the desire of the Republicans to do what best for the country.
You can’t pull the partisan crap that the Republican leadership used to get their way and expect anyone, including the voters, to trust them anytime soon.
The Republicans passed the rules that are cutting them out, now that they are in the minority. They were warned when they did it that they wouldn’t like it when they were in the minority, but they did it anyway.
It’s called karma; Republicans need to get used to it. If they don’t understand what that means they can ask the two new Buddhists in the House to explain the concept.

TWO! My god… my day is so made now.

Old jokes about their karma running over their dogma come to mind…
Payback aside, we must never forget Grover Norquist’s assessment of bipartisanship: that is exactly what Republicans intend when they use the word. As to the young Patrick McHenry’s fatuous statement about a minority’s bill of rights derived from Pelosi’s draft in 2004… McHenry neglecting, of course, to mention that Pelosi’s request was not merely rejected but ignored… he would have been better off using his breath to say something memorable. Perhaps he could have said, “Give me McLiberty or give me McDeath…”
I think they missed a bet not inviting the Dixie Chicks to their celebration. I think I’m Not Ready To Make Nice would make a wonderful anthem for the 110th Congress.
