Bipartisan Dining With the Devil?

What's up with this bipartisanship fad? Last week it was the Senate majority and minority leaders, Sens. Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) and Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), all playing nice at the McConnell Center in Louisville. Now we learn that Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-Ill.) has been cozying up with the very people...

Too often, the consequence of a tight presidential race is the sacrifice of principle to the win-at-all-costs ethos. It should thus come as no surprise that the Bush administration is once again jettisoning prudent trade policy for political calculation.

MILFORD, Neb. - Urban dwellers who enjoy dining on filet mignon at five-star restaurants would probably just as soon not know about David Dickinson's dilemma.  Bad for the appetite, you know.

U.S. News & World Report - You know the &quot;five-second rule,&quot; the one that says you can eat food dropped on the ground for five seconds and it&#39;s still good. Well, maybe, there&#39;s a five-day rule for presidential candidates. Maybe Fred Thompson can still drop right back out of the presidential race--no harm, no foul. Today&#39;s job numbers were that bad for Republicans and that good for Democrats. I mean, if you&#39;re a political junkie who likes to bet a few sawbucks now and then, it might be time to snag a few &quot;Democratic Party Candidate to Win 2008 Presidential Election&quot; contracts over at the TradeSports online betting site.  ...

I like politics. I follow it the way some people follow sports. The Democrat Party     and Republican Party are major league teams. They battle each other in national, state and     local contests. They have mascots, both created by the same person.     They have fanatical supporters just like any sport. Like minor league teams, there are also minor political parties to watch that sometimes play spoiler and sometimes     gain enough strength to influence the major parties. Some operate only locally, some statewide, and some try to operate     nationally.    I also enjoy following individual personalities. People love and hate them like they love and hate sports teams and athletes.     I'm sometimes startled by the degree of blind adoration or blind rage that politicians can inspire in otherwise calm,     rational people.    Lately, I've noticed that there's a growing tendency to divide the United States into red states and blue states. People seem     to think that it's possible for an entire state to be Democrat or Republican. How can that be if it's difficult to even     categorize individual Americans into definite camps? Now, although once restricted to politics, the idea is spreading to     other arenas. I saw a suggestion that Hollywood start targetting states as red or blue audiences. I've seen statistics that     compare red states versus blue states on categories such as religion, income, and even gifts to charity.    The division of the United States into red and blue states is overly simplistic and misleading.

First, I'd like to say congratulations. Prior to last night, I had been only cautiously optimistic about your chances of taking the House. As of the time I am writing this, you are on the cusp of taking senate as well. In the world of politics, expectations are as real as the raw numbers, and you have certainly exceeded mine and many others. A quick scan of the over-dramatic flailing on conservative blogs and the despondent tone of Fox News fills me and many others with a profound sense of schadenfreude.  Enjoy your victory, but enjoy it quickly. For tomorrow you inherit the corn-flecked shit sandwich currently known as our government. Here are some things you can do to further redeem yourselves in our eyes...

TOKYO -- On a recent business trip to Colorado, Japan's agriculture minister, Toshikatsu Matsuoka, popped into an inviting Japanese restaurant in the Denver suburbs with a hankering for a taste of back home.

Conventional wisdom held that the Democrats elected to the Senate last year would largely be moderates, trying to tailor their votes in Washington to appeal to as broad a group of voters as possible to secure their seats. If so, that must mean opposing President BushÃ¢ÂÂs agenda is an increasingly moderate proposition.

The Democrats' internecine squabbling over the war is a family argument about tactics, not a showdown over principle. The left should remember that.
