Anybody remember the name of the GOP Senate Majority leader who agreed to parity on all committees when the Senate was 50-50 with VP Dick Cheney as the tie-breaking vote?
That lasted a whole 4-5 months until Vermont's Jim Jefford switched parties.

A certain Sen from AZ backed this ‘lets be friends’ and split the pie down the middle (think this is when ‘crossing the aisle’ and sitting holding hands during SOU was a step towards KumBayYa)
McCain backed down when someone suggested JOINT CHAIRMANSHIPS and he sort of said NO....We ‘deserve’ the Chair, the Committees should be balanced 50/50....
People failed to see what a ‘slug’ he was in regards to ‘The Keating Five’ - which his ‘war hero/POW status afforded him a ride’
