Rep. Pete Sessions (R-Tex.) suggested last week that the party is learning from the disruptive tactics of the Taliban, and the GOP these days does have the bravado of an insurgent band that has pulled together after a big defeat to carry off a quick, if not particularly damaging, raid on the powers that be.

Now, I thought I had pretty much heard everything growing up here in Texas…But to have a Republican happily quoted that he is taking lessons from the Taliban…That takes a Texas Republican.

Then we get my favorite Snetor…

“The president has done a good job reaching out to Republicans, and he has said he wants to approach this crisis . . . on a bipartisan basis. That’s good, and we’re willing to work with him on that. But this bill is not the president’s bipartisan plan,” Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.) said yesterday on “Fox News Sunday.”

Maybe someone should explain to me what exactly bipartisan is supposed to mean. ‘Cause it seems to me the Republicans seem to think it means more of the same or nothing…How has that worked for you folks in the last few years?
