the nice before the storm?

interesting little piece today about mccain and obama partnering up with alf's dad... whoops, i mean lieberman... to push a bill the would require mandatory caps on emissions from power plants and refineries...

while this monkey girl is all over the idea (assuming there aren't any nasty little "attachments" to the bill that negate its eco-effectiveness), this is one of those things that make you go "hmmmmm?"

now have i gone crazy (resist low-hanging fruit) or were these two bickering like two high school girls fighting over a prom dress less than a year ago? and, as the two have an extremely high chance of ending up going tete-a-tete in '08, the idea of bipartisanship seems a little far-fetched. (actually, if you count alf's poppie, tripartisanship... but, really, at this point, lieberman's just hoping to get one of them to make him a VP candidate... "hey... hey.. guys! wait up!")

maybe i'm just cynical, but does anyone else get the hinky this is the "nice" before the storm...?
