Read cheerleader Hugh Hewitt’s blog, and the comments. It is to laugh. And yes, people I’m going to freaking gloat. I am going to gloat until I have wasted all my natural gloating tendencies and then gloat some more.
Because the great and proud Democratic party has taken back the people’s House and as I write this is within a breath from taking back our Senate.

I’m not gloating much myself. This is all I have to say: http://www.lostadam.net/archives6/archived_images_6/rip.gif

How do these people even manage to operate a website?
Godspeed, idiots. Godspeed.
I especially love: “If you had told me in 1986 that 20 years later there would be a Republican president facing a 20 seat Democratic majority in the House and a two seat Democratic majority in the Senate –and that the Soviet Union had collapsed– I’d have cheered long and loud.”
In other words, “Man, screw that I foresaw a Republican House and Senate day ago. If you’d have told me 20 years ago we’d have Internets and the Google, then I actually don’t care who wins elections.”
Cheerleader? I think drug addict is more like it. HH must have shared some of Rush’s oxy or Haggard’s meth with this appraisal of Man-on-dog’s prospects:
The idea of Justice Man-on-Dog made me laugh so much that I had to stop reading so I didn’t wake up the house. His confirmation battle would resemble that of Harriet Miers.
I think Diamond that you and Oliver and Nimrod and all of us OW liberals can agree that we give our full support for Man on Dog for Republican candidate for prez in 2008. Or better yet, the Republicans are too liberal. How about Santorum as a third party candidate with that Judge Roy Moore as a running mate? Now that’s a ticket I could get behind!!!
I can’t believe I heard that dick Bill Bennett saying that Santorum may be drafted for President. He just got pwned by 18% in a centrist state and he has a chance for president. Well, maybe now he can run for Virginia Senator in 2 years.
HH’s wrap-up is, more or less, Republican CW at this point. And some of it is true: the voters rejected the GOP Congress because they were corrupt and got nothing done. But his perspective is way off. It is virtually impossible for a party to get up to 258 House votes in today’s polarized Congress because the South has settled in to its natural Republican home. In 1986, Democrats still dominated the House delegation in Georgia, Texas, Virginia and elsewhere that they had no business running. What’s really important is that the South itself is the minority.
It’s time for Senator Macaca to concede. I don’t know why he insists on being such a sore loser.
I have to admit I read that as “tentacles” and not “tendencies”. Congrats to you on the Maryland win. Congrats to Dean on his strategy, congrats to us all, and now on to 2008.
Yearrghhhh!
Too soon to declare Macaca a loser. VA is probably heading for the courts, so there is more drama on the way.
Maybe if it goes to the courts the judge can hear about Senator Macaca’s attempts to suppress the black vote.
Are there any allegations (from non lunatics) about Webb vote fraud? Haven’t checked the papers down there yet.
I was listening to Hewitt on the radio on the way to the polls in CA after work. He was reading off results, babbling on and on about how the Repubs would hold the House and there was no wave, no repudiation of conservative leadership. Then I switched the NPR and got, you know, the real news. It was priceless.
Hewitt sounded like a cultist desperately grappling with the sudden knowledge that the mothership wasn’t coming to take him to live forever on Alpha Centauri 9.
I read that post last night around Midnight and died laughing but didn’t read the comments. Thanks Oliver, what a great way to start the new day.
What. A. Bunch. Of. Loser. Tools.
I love it.
Looks to me like the vote differential in Montana and Va. is too much for the Rs to overcome. Lets face it. The Democrats have won both houses. I thought odds were Rs would hold Tenn and at least one of the other toss-ups, but thats not the case. Speaker Pelosi; Majority Leader Reid.
The biggest winner may be Rahn Emmanual.
Favorite comment at Hewitt’s so far:
The other cultists are starting to catch on. Oh mercy this is going to be good.
Supreme Court Justice Rick Santorum!
Thanks for passing along this bit of comedy, O.W.
I wonder what Bush will do. Norquist was speculating Bush might try to bypass congress in some ways and try to rule by executive order while the GOP congress would work towards making a case for GOP control in 2008 rather than working at bipartisanship.
“Norquist was speculating…”
Is it possible that any Republicans still think that Grover’s advice is worth the air his breath fouls?
Not even hardcore partisans can be that deluded…can they?
Rahn Emmanual.
Rahm. Emanuel.
You don’t have to respect his ideas, but at least bother to spell his name correctly. Not everybody can be John Johnson, y’know.
Not to worry, BD. Our local conservatives will get plenty of practice typing that name over the next two years!
Ronnie Manual?
Ra Imam Yule?
That’s the scotch talking.
Norquist tends to have inside info, but what he’s saying is obvious. Bush will try to rule by executive decision — and the only way to stop that is for Congress to have a little spine. If it doesn’t, then we’re no better off than if we had just kept the Republicans around.
