I‘m not one who worships at the altar of bipartisanship. In fact, those who proselytize about it typically make me nauseated. But for all the talk of Republican obstructionism, it should be noted that Washington has been a lot more bipartisan since the GOP’s victories in last November’s election.

Both the tax deal negotiated late last year and the budget deal struck last week passed by overwhelming margins, with support and opposition in both parties.
