Now they're all for bipartisanship....Newt Gingrich, champion of civility?
AUSTIN, Texas -- Having watched election coverage nonstop all week, I sometimes wake screaming, "Bipartisanship!" and scare myself.

Of all the viral members of the media who have been suggesting that the Dems cooperate with their political opponents, the one who rendered me almost unconscious with surprise was Newt Gingrich.

Newt Gingrich, the Boy Scout. Newt Gingrich, the man who sat there and watched Congress impeach and try Bill Clinton for lying about having an extramarital affair while he, Newt Gingrich, was lying about having an extramarital affair. (This all took place during his second marriage. The first one ended when he told his wife he was divorcing her while she was in the hospital undergoing cancer treatment.)

This is the level of Republican hypocrisy that reminds us all how far the Dems have to go. I tell you what. Let's all hold hands together and sing, "Oh the Farmers and the Cowboys Should Be Friends!" Just not, please, Newt Gingrich, the man whose contribution to civility was to recommend that all Democrats be referred to with such words as cowards, traitors, commies, godless, liars and other such bipartisan-promoting terms.

Please, anyone but Newt.

2. .
Well yeah, that's how the game is played.
Repubs have the majority, they do whatever they want.
Dems have the majority, it's all about bipartisanship meaning that the Repubs propose to only push through 75% of their radical agenda.

They're scared now that they're on the wrong side of the barrel. They think that this will happen--

They should be scared.

5. To hear the nutters' calls to cspan, you'd never believe it.
Their claim is that it's the dems who are desperate for bipartisanship, so they can steal the perverts' ideas.
