Bipartisanship Means Never Having to Say, “Hey! Let’s Try Your Idea!”
James Clyburn may not be the brightest bulb in the Congressional drawer, but he’s certainly one of the most entertaining. Ed Morrissey caught him on CNN this weekend trying to convince us that bipartisanship really meant “do what I want and forget what you want”. House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) charged Sunday that Republicans [...]
Obama: You’re All A Bunch of Hypocrites! Now Let Me Get Back to My Board Game.

I have a very hard time believing that George Snuffleupagus, former Clinton administration and current ABC News political hack, would have asked a Democratic woman running for office a pair of questions as openly insulting as these. STEPHANOPOULOS: You did face a very, very tough campaign. I know South Carolina has a reputation for that. [...]
