Bipartisan?

"I guess Rush Limbaugh was busy," Robert Gibbs, Obama's press secretary, said during his daily briefing to journalists at the White House. "So they trotted out the next most popular member of the Republican cabal."Link

I understand why Gibbs was trying to downplay Cheney's credibility and relevance, but his wording did little to help the Administration's facade of bipartisanship. If Obama want sto pass himself off as a unifying force in Washington, his spokesman should not be making comments about the "Republican cabal." Partisan shots like that should be left to liberal pundits or members of Congress.

That being said, the GOP needs to start putting muzzles and leashes on "members" like Limbaugh and Cheney. Most of America looks on both of these men in a negative way, so as long as they are associated with the party, the party is not going to rebound from the last 3 years. They really need to start making better decisions.
