Bipartisan Idiocy

Republican lawmakers are now jumping on the bandwagon of AIG bonus grandstanding. In the past, I was a proponent of more down the middle bipartisanship, thinking consensus meant people were operating rationally. I now realize rather than rational consensus, bipartisanship is just as likely to reflect across the board stupidity, emotionally fueled reactions, and cynical grandstanding to base, populist instincts.

Sigh.
