"There's a new definition of bipartisan in Washington -- it's called former member," 10-term Rep. Chet Edwards (D-Texas) told an amused audience at the Bipartisan Policy Center. Capitol Hill lawmakers describe a pressure-cooker in which any vote cast has the potential to anger party leaders, hand weapons to primary and general election opponents, and ignite multimillion-dollar independent spending campaigns against an incumbent.

CASE IN POINT Pelosi and Obama lined up votes with the cocakmamie idea that Obamacare would become more popular as voters learned more about it........ based on the theory that in times of economic distress, Americans would be more supportive of big government policies.

That theory has been disproved about as conclusively as any theory can be in the real world, and most of the Democrats Pelosi rounded up to provide the key votes were defeated on Nov 2.

The happy couple---united by O/Care.

"Americans don't give a damn what we have to say? Man, tha'ssa real bummer."

"Hey, Nancy, come on down We got openings for ketchup pumpers."

A member of the 111th Congress flies home to meet with constituents after O'Care was passed.
