    I Call Bullshit

    I trust that in 90 comments this has been said already, but just to re-iterate:

    Bipartisanship is dead. It was brutally, viciously murdered by Ronald Reagan, Lee Atwater, Newt Gringrich, Tom DeLay, Fox News, Karl Rove, Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, Gary Bauer, and all the other despicable, un-American, Anti-Democratic, anti-Constitution, wingnut freakazoids who call themselves republicans.

    The only hope for the nation and the world, Cass, you idealistic ninny, is vicious, take-no-prisoners partisan liberalism that will restore the secular nation the founders created.

    Go back to your filthy Straussian nest in Chicago and leave leadership to those willing to sacrifice for it.
