Remember all those sweet post-election promises of bipartisanship?

Barack Obama has certainly led the way. He could have filled his Cabinet with "aggressive progressives," but instead chose moderates like Treasury Secretary Tom Geithner and kept Republican Robert Gates in the most powerful job of all, Secretary of Defense.

Obama could also have demanded passage of a "share the wealth" stimulus bill, but instead reached out to Republicans with business-friendly tax cuts.

So Obama has done his share. What about the Republicans?

A good place for Republicans to start would be by telling Norm Coleman to drop his futile lawsuits and by agreeing to seat Al Franken immediately if he doesn't.

Isn't bipartisanship a two-way street?
