On the Virtues of Partisanship 2

It's not just the right attacking the "No Labels" movement, but also the Left, as exemplified by Frank Rich's column in the NYTimes:

The notion that civility and nominal bipartisanship would accomplish any of the heavy lifting required to rebuild America is childish magical thinking, and, worse, a mindless distraction from the real work before the nation. Sure, it would be swell if rhetorical peace broke out in Washington — or on cable news networks — but given that American politics have been rancorous since Boston’s original Tea Party, wishing will not make it so.

What are your thoughts on the varied critique of Will and Frank?
