What Nancy Pelosi, Steny Hoyer and Fred Hiatt mean by "bipartisanship"

Even the GOP, the media establishment and many Democrats themselves are openly mocking the claims by Pelosi and Hoyer that they "negotiated" a "bipartisan compromise."

Kit Bond Quoted on NPR This Morning

I heard Kit Bond on "Morning Edition" this morning. He said:

"When the government tells you to do something I think we all realize that's something you should, uh, do"

This man is my senator, and he's spouting perfect fascist rhetoric. I was never ashamed of America until the past seven years, and I've never been more ashamed to be an American than I have this week. Between the McClatchy stories about prisoner torture and this completely unnecessary Democratic capitulation to the Bush administration's demands for unlimited power to spy on American citizens I despair for the future of the U.S. I'm not sure even electing Barack Obama will do much to change the direction this country is going in. Will the citizens ever wake up from their media-induced bread-and-circuses coma to see what's going on? I'm afraid that they will wake up one day and realize that they're living in a totalitarian surveillance state. Will they then wonder how that happened? If they do they should point the finger at themselves.
