Yep, the Beltway's extremely well-paid yet sadly out of touch purveyor of slightly stale conventional wisdom has another post up on The Goodness of The Bipartisan:

It was not nostalgia or a desire for companionship that brought four former Senate leaders together in a meeting room on Capitol Hill on Tuesday morning, but rather a sense of alarm at the breakdown in Civility and at the fierce partisanship that has infected Congress and blocked action on national priorities.

Yeah, well, when Republicans impeach a President over a blowjob, Republicans steal two Presidential elections, and Republicans take us into the greatest strategic disaster in history, gosh, that will tend to happen BRODER YOU PUTZ!.

Meantime, the House, after a fast start rushing through noncontroversial items, has slowed to a crawl, filling time with investigations.

Yeah, well, when Republicans in a 51-49 Senate filibuster even a non-binding resolution on Iraq, then legislating suddenly becomes a lot less important than oversight, because nothing's gonna pass anyhow, BRODER YOU PUTZ!

And look, there's a think tank! With a budget of Seven. Million. Dollars. (Heck, the "scholars" doing our Iraq strategy over at AEI probably spend that much on cocktail wienies!)

The occasion for the meeting was the formal launch of the Bipartisan Policy Center, a foundation-sponsored organization with a staff of 20 and a budget of $7 million a year, with the lofty goal of showing that "evidence-based, collaborative approaches can gain the public and political momentum needed to forge political consensus."

Yeah, well, we'll all be waiting with bated breath for the sign that the conservatives have any interest whatever in anything "evidence-based" or "collaborative," strike>, BRODER YOU PUTZ!.

Curiously, although we're in the midst of a Constitutional crisis, Broder never even mentions it. I suppose if a decision to abolish Constitutional government and the Bill of Rights were taken on a Bipartisan basis, Broder would be all for it. And there are days when I think such a decision has already been taken.

NOTE As you can see, I carefully, prayerfully restrained myself by striking out the Undignified parts, thereby extending the right hand of good fellowship to the Beltway Teabaggers establishment.
