Senator Mel Martinezn (R-FL) wrote in a recent op-ed piece that the Democrats need to reach accross the aisle and be more bipartisan in their approach.

After six years of lording themselves over the world (and six years before that doing their best to keep anything good from getting done), the freshly-neutered GOP are finally going to get to be the underdogs they are always portraying themselves to be.

Personally, I always found the GOP to be a bunch of cry-babies. They come across all tough, but they’re the ones to come up with pedantic nuggets like “freedom fries” and “homicide bombers.” Anyone smarter than them is “elite,” and anyone different from them is a degenerate.

Mel Martinez, who viciuosly and personally attacks anyone who disagrees with him, wants the Dems to work harder get along with the likes of himself, James Inhofe and Ted Stevens. More Ted here. And here.
I hate to disappoint you, Senator, but no can do.

I’ll tell you what we will do, though. In the spirit of compromise, in 2009, we’ll be happy to work closely with the new Democratic senators from Oklahoma and Alaska.

Don’t worry, you’ll still have two years left to enjoy the newfound friendship before you go.
