The aftermath of Election Day 2000 saw a lot of heated rhetoric, sometimes known as "spin." The same facts, seen from diametrically opposed viewpoints seemed to inhabit separate - but parallel - universes depending on whether a Republican or a Democrat is describing said facts. But, as both Vice President Gore and President-elect Bush said after the Supreme Court ended the election, now is the time to put party differences aside, and unite in an orgy of bipartisan cooperation. So, in this spirit of national unity, I have created a new game - Bipartisan Bingo. If you know the spin, you know how to win!
To play, click on the phrase in the Bipartisan Bingo Card that best completes questions below. Approach it with the right bipartisan spirit, and you too, can win with spin!
