Partisan? How can you avoid it? With one you have narcissism at best, megalomania at the extreme. Two? You either have a love fest or endless bickering (come to think of it, isn't that what our "two" party system really is?) or both, With three you have a "party"! Whoopee!

I suspect that when the Clintons and the Bushes (NO, not Clinton IN the bushes!) get together they all have a lot of laughs about the things they have to say to delineate themselves to their respective electors ( i.e. you and me). No hard feelings.   They really don't mean it. It's just the thing you have to do to get or keep your place in the circle which is propelled by OPM (again, yours and mine).
