Zandar's Thought Of The Day

This may be the most insipid thing I've read all week.  The Boston Herald's Dan Thomasson:
The president apparently has decided that Republicans are irrelevant if not downright obsolete and it is best to ignore them, especially those in Congress. While Barack Obama may have understandable reason to feel that way given the GOP’s solid opposition to much of his agenda, is it wise for him to utterly abandon any real attempt at bipartisanship?
Please note the salient points of that last sentence there: "the GOP's solid opposition to much of his agenda" and the question (and entire article proceeding afterwards) chastising Obama for not being bi-partisan enough.

Despite the admission that the GOP says no to everything he does, Obama is described in the rest of the article as having "kingly arrogance" by "using language sure to increase the animosity level" because he "now sees no need to even pay lip service to bipartisanship".

Because he made a recess appointment.

When I say we need a better pundit class, this is what I mean.
