Putting behind the blistering days of August
Senator Chris Dodd (D-CT) on Meet the Press yesterday:
Well, it’s not about bipartisanship. I think that has its moments and its peaks and its valleys. It’s civility in the process, I think more than anything else. …when we get back into session, if you want to, if you want to honor Teddy’s memory, it’s to come back and sort of, as I said the other night, to put behind us the blistering days of August and, and to enter the cool days of September and start acting like Senators again where you respect each other. There are differences. You bring that partisanship to the table, but you work out your differences. That’s what’s we were elected to do, that’s what Teddy understood adamantly about the place… When you abandon civility, then you’re going to be in trouble.
