Congress Partisanship
FILE - In this Jan. 13, 2010, file photo, the Houdon statue of George Washington is bathed in sunlight in the rotunda of the Capitol in Richmond, Va. Party politics "agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms." It "kindles the animosity of one part against another (and) foments occasionally riot and insurrection." The words of Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh, who announced with much fanfare that he's not running for re-election because he's fed up with the Senate's partisan battles? Try George Washington.
