House Repubicans Extend Olive Branch, because, see, Democrats didn't

By GottaLaff

First Orrin Hatch, and now this? What's ... happening...? Does... not... compute:

"House Republicans have invited President-elect Barack Obama to speak before the entire GOP conference, hoping to set a different tone to the partisan wars of the last two years in which congressional Democrats battled President Bush," the Washington Post reports.

Obama is expected to attend the House Democratic retreat in early February.

Oh, but it's the Dems who battled Georgie that caused all that animosity. Nothing the Republicans did was combative, like say, umm, oh, darn...what's that word again? Oh yeah: Filibuster. Yeah, nothing they did, nothing BushCo did, none of that created a toxic atmosphere at all.

And don't even start me on the Clinton years.
