THE GOOD OLD DAYS. Over at WJM...er, MSNBC, I think Ted and Chuckles just went off the rails. Chris Matthews had old Enron Ed Gillespie on, glumly chatting over the demise of a whole passel of GOP "workhorses." (Aside -- There has been nothing more fun tonight than seeing Republican strategists do live shots while the banquet room gets packed up behind them. They were stacking chairs over Enron Ed's left shoulder.) And Matthews started talking about the halcyon days of divided government and bipartisan comity ... in the mid-1990's!
Wait. Wasn't there something peculiarly and distinctly partisan about those years? Oh, yes. THEY IMPEACHED THE PRESIDENT, FOOF!
And a note to my friend Keith O -- Orleans really sucked. Always did. Glad the singer won, though.
