If you missed This Week with George Stephanpoulos, you missed Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) bickering with Senator Chuck Schumer about the federal stimulus package and negotiations. Schumer had just mentioned Republican amendments added to the package, and Graham said, "If I may say, if this is going to be bipartisanship, the country's screwed. I know bipartisanship when I see it. I've participated in it. I've gone back home and gotten primary opponents because I wanted to be bipartisan. There's nothing about this process that's been bipartisan. This is not 'change we can believe in.' You rammed it through the House. You started out with the idea of, 'we won, we write the bill.'" Luckily, you can see Graham's Potter Stewart-esque explanation here.
