More Post-Mortems on the Elections
Liberal bloggers not giving up after Tuesday's loss. There are good points, angry points, sensible points and even funny points being made. Here's several:
The election results have come in and they have surprised no one... no one on the side of Giblets that is! It is Giblets in a landslide! Giblets by a whopping three percentage points! Only 49% of the population rejected Giblets! VICTORY! AMERICA HAS SPOKEN!

strangely enough, the mood here at skippy international is not as somber as it was 3 years and 11 months ago, when it was first clear that awol would occupy the oval office. it's rather like having someone back into your car right after you scraped it pulling into the parking lot...more of the same damn tsuris.
...buck up, kids, it's not like we supported mondale or dukakis. come on, we were on the side that just barely lost. just barely! a few more thousand votes here or there, in one state or another (but mostly one state), we would have won! a mere 5,500,000 votes separated the two guys running. the margin was 3% of the popular vote!

Over a picture of President George W. Bush, the paper asked, "How can 59,054,087 people be so DUMB?" Inside, the left-leaning British tabloid headlined its editorial, "WAR MORE YEARS." In a clear demonstration of the trans-Atlantic culture gap, the paper's description of the president's beliefs—clearly intended to strike Mirror readers as a radical agenda—is simply an accurate, if crude, précis of his platform: "Mr Bush opposes abortion and gay marriage, doesn't give a stuff about the environment, is against gun control and believes troops should stay in Iraq for as long as it takes."
