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?

    Dems only insulted by Lieberman's accusations, not inaction

    I have only read where a couple of Senators had come out against Lieberman because he has done nothing substantial (and that is being nice) in his duties as Chairman. The rest are wimpering because big bad Joe said mean and naughty things about Obama during the election.

    It only shows that the Dems priorties are more against name calling and being insulted rather than actually having someone in that position holding the government accountable.

    Even most of the media reports I read focus solely on Joe's actions in the election and not the fact that he is inept in his chairmanship role. It is circa 2006 all over again.
