Bipartisanship

President Bush has promised a new era of bipartisanship. And, we can all agree that this would be the most sensible approach to governing for the next two years.

The same day the pronouncement of bipartisanship was issued however, two other items hit the wires. First, Bush submitted for nomination, the name of John Bolton to be US Ambassador to the UN. Rather odd, since the first attempt to get the UN hater's name through the process failed. And, now there is a Democratic majority. And, Lincoln Chaffee (R) R.I., has made it clear he will not support the nomination. Second, Bush made it plain that he was going to move forward on legislation to authorize a domestic surveillance program. That would be the one wherein the government is ok'd to spy on it's citizens.

Although I am not always on-board with Joe Biden, this statment worked for me: Bush is only going to learn by getting "HARSH DOSES OF REALITY, REPEATEDLY ADMINISTERED." Or, as Frank Cesca believes, a big 'ol cup of SHUT THE FUCK UP!!

I've got your bipartisanship danglin' dude. You don't set the agenda anymore. You are now as irrelevant as you should have been from the very beginning. Now everyone will get the opportunity to watch as you and your band of thugs slither back under your collective rocks.
