"Should there be partisanship?" asked host Christiane Amanpour. "Is it an inevitable role of society, a fact of life?"

"The rally was not against partisanship as such," Arianna replied. "It was against demonizing your opponents. He said specifically in his speech at the end -- which I though was magnificent -- of course we'll have animus, of course we'll have disagreement, but we don't have to turn each other into enemies."

"Obviously we need civility," Dick Armey said. "I thought yesterday was fun day. I was quite amused at watching the national comics stand up and decry with such sincerity that which they do every day on their shows. I thought it was so remarkable: 'I want you all in America to stop acting like we do on our show every night with our militant vilification of everyone with whom we have a disagreement."

"Actually, Dick, I don't know the last time you watched the show," Arianna interjected, "but that is precisely what they are not doing."

4. oh, that's really unfair

They should have made Arianna operate on 1 hour of sleep, with no coffee, and let little Dickie bring crib notes, in order to give him a chance.

All that from the Asshat Armey who created Teabagging.
