How much of a Partisan can one be?

And no, I am not turning into a vid-head. I just found this on "Crooks and Liars," and it is very funny. And you know what they say about how there has to be at least a germ of truth in anything really funny?

Well I am not saying a Gore Presidency would have been 1/2 that. But it is Peter's insistence on getting his own way over rest of the nation/world that makes me think of the driving forces behind the worst of the worst of partisans:

Selfishness, Greed, Avarice, Narcissism, Ignorance, Thoughtlessness, Infantilism.

These qualities can be very funny, when combined in a fictional character, like Peter Griffin. But in the real world? They can destroy a nation, take down a society.
