   And here is how they function in real life:

   When Barack Obama informed congressional Republicans last month that he would support a controversial parliamentary move to protect health-care reform from a filibuster in the Senate, they were furious. That meant the bill could pass with a simple majority of 51 votes, eliminating the need for any GOP support for the bill. Where, they demanded, was the bipartisanship the President had promised? So, right there in the Cabinet Room, the President put a proposal on the table, according to two people who were present. Obama said he was willing to curb malpractice awards, a move long sought by the Republicans and certain to bring strong opposition from the trial lawyers who fund the Democratic Party.

   What, he wanted to know, did the Republicans have to offer in return?

   Nothing, it turned out. Republicans were unprepared to make any concessions, if they had any to make.

   And they probably left the meeting thinking it was just a flesh wound too.
