Max Bell says:

Um, I’m still not understanding this one. He fell on his sword after the election instead of before it, when it would have done some good to look a little more moderate than Foley and DeLay did with their resignations, so the R’s are pissed off about it.

We’re supposed to laugh at this, right? Won’t have more people delete their DU bookmarks?

I know Dean hasn’t sent out the “stop gloating” memo, yet, but I already feeling guilty for giving my new springer puppy a stuffed elephant and teaching her “sic republican”. I suppose I should be a more gracious punching bag, but I don’t remember being this hostile in `04. Landslide, yeah, whatever, we picked out some people we liked and some of them even got into office. But as flipped out as people are, if DeLay was just a victim of a partisan smear campaign when he resigned, is Rummy funny because he’s suddenly out of office even when he was gonna keep his job a week before the election? Probably not.

Of course, given that Al Qaeda declared mission accomplished in Iraq after the election, maybe these guys are better off spontaneously combusting since the terrorists should finally get around to doing something any day, now. Since I’m extinct and just don’t know it given everything I’d heard back then, they probably wouldn’t mind being a sooty grease stain on a charred couch. Extinction feels about the same as it did before the election.
