I think we plebians are supposed to see a nice little Jewish girl,. She and her husband worry an ass to Bethlehem where she gives birth in a barn. And they called the baby Bipartisan. Kneel and praise.
My faith is weak, so I reviewed what I know of our Constitution and Amercan political history. No where can I find biprtisanship listed as a stated national ideal -- or even a very good idea.
It is not even very well defined.The closest you can figure it, the word means "We got caught doing something stupid as Hell, but they helped so it's their fault, too."

Jimmy Durante raises his eyebrows in mock amazement and asks the cop, "What Elephant?"
The pachyderm of the moment is Ben Bernanke, soon to be replaced by one Janet Yellen. For six long years, Ben has taught Janet the art of plopping flops along the parade route, then decreeing them to be "money" or even "weath."
She thinks she has the knack now, even finds the thought of being the head flopper and decree-er rather exalting. She campaigned to be ringmaster of the printing press, and His Ineptness bought it, as will his Senate, probably in a more or less bipartisan way.
Bringing us back to the Ryan-Murray deal which saves a few bucks here, spends a few more bucks there and, in the end, promises (fingers crossed) to reduce the federal deficit by $23 billion over two years, or ten, or something.
Every little bit helps, but there's that damned elephant again. Jumbo Ben has been creating Federal Reserve Cartoons at the rate of 85 billion a month. This arithmetic for avoiding bankruptcy does not appear promising to this obsrever.
And just how does Ben go about creating the money to pay Barack for those IOUs (to which, conveniently, the president is permitted to sign your name, and mine)?
Easy as pie, as I earlier suggested.
"Plop."
