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?

    @ johnqeniac

    Great comment! Now, all we need is to settle on whatever the hell "Progressive" means, and we've got it made! Do you think you could tell us, and while you are at it, point out to me when Obama pledged to be "a progressive".

    Now, I admit, I did do a lot of reading trying to find out what a "progressive" is. The best definition I came across was at the site where everybody wrote in to tell what "progressive" means. A young lady said that "progressive means great schools and great jobs" And in sooth, I would vouschafe, who can gainsay that? Certainly not you, johnqeniac!

    Certainly not you. I would add to that, but wait! Isn't there a song that tells us about it?

    The sun may never set till after sundown.

    By eight the morning bogs must disappear!

    In short there's clearly not, a more progressive spot,

    Than here, in Camelot!
