Why would the NYT put "bipartisan" in quotation marks?

could it be because they, along with goddam near everyone else, realize that, for bushco, "bipartisan" = "bullshit...?"

President Bush’s call for the lame duck Congress to pass pending “bipartisan energy legislation” before it leaves Washington forever is a very good example of why the House and Senate should limit their work in this final session to as few measures as possible.

The terrain during a lame duck session is notoriously treacherous. Our suggestion, therefore, is that Congress take a deep breath and postpone any energy legislation until next year.

bush obviously thinks that using that word is like music to soothe the heart of the savage beast... anybody who falls for it deserves everything they get...
