Has there been too much bipartisanship or too little?

The reward Joe Lieberman will receive today is justified by the claimed need for more bipartisanship harmony. Is it even possible to have more than we have now?

    Kicking Lieberman out may feel good, but keeping him in ensures one more vote on important issues. His humiliation will be private, not public, but he is now in a very different situation than a few months ago.

    Right. That how we, as a society, should deal with murderers and rapists and thieves and liars. We should just humiliate them in private but allow them to continue murdering and raping and thieving and telling lies in public for the sake of 'keeping the peace'. No sense in doing something like removing the cancer just so we can "feel good". WTF are you talking about?
