Obvious Questions

Sen. Collins professes to believe that "hyper-partisanship" has been at the root of the government's failures over the last eight years.

Not a failed Republican ideology. Not mismanagement. Not corruption.

Hyper-partisanship.

But if bipartisanship is as crucial as Sen. Collins makes it sound, why hasn't she stood together with Democrats and many Republicans against even one of the Bush administration's major initiatives?

And why did she stonewall her Democratic colleagues on the Homeland Security committee when they repeatedly reached across the aisle, imploring her to hold hearings on the Bush administration's corrupt, costly and dangerous Iraq war contracting practices?
