Irregular Times Diaries: Unfit DiscussionIn a time of the spring, old paths are obscured and new growth begins.
Read here about Hillary Clinton’s willingness to quietly, without fanfare or fuss, reach across the aisle to George Herbert Walker Bush, the president of the early 1990s. While Barack Obama speaks in soaring cadences about reaching across partisan divisions, Hillary Clinton is doing it. George Herbert Walker Bush has come to admire Hillary Clinton’s wit and wisdom. I look forward to her entering the White House as president and building those kind of cross-party alliances full-time.

It was nice to see Bill and George 41 doing all that tsunami charity stuff together, but when it comes to “helping” Democrats, didn’t the Republicans “help” get McGovern the nomination in ‘72, when Muskie was the strongest candidate in the Democratic field? McGovern couldn’t even carry his home state. I am very skeptical of across-the-aisle “help”.

As for myself, I don’t want the Democrats to reach across the aisle and engage in bipartisan cooperation with the Republicans. The Republicans have shown themselves to be thoroughly untrustworthy. Cross-party alliances are a threat to the coherence of resistance to the Republican Party.
