Poor Donald Rumsfeld! He's been fired by the American people. Well, not exactly, but close enough! A television commercial in NJ supporting Tom Kean, Jr. used the slogan that Bob Menendez refused to resign so NJ voters would have to do it for him, reminds me of the Rumsfeld ouster. Adios, Rummy! Glad to see you go!
I also had the displeasure of watching Bush in a news conference this afternoon. What an arrogant SOB! He had the nerve to say that he really believed the Democrats do care about the safety of the US, but disagreed with their methods. So what made Bush change his mind in 2 days because just the day before yesterday Bush basically said a vote for the Dems was a vote against America's safety? Oh yeah!! A romp! A good old fashion "whuppin'". Or was Bush just lying like he has his entire presidency? Thank God a reporter with a British accent called Bush on this. And Bush again said he did believe the Dems do care about the US and its safety. More Bush bullshit! Soon, Bush will be gone too!
Interesting election! I'm pleased except for the defeat of gay marriage in several states. Most were southern states in which the vote was clearly the majority against gay marriage. Out west, the votes were closer. So I say all gays should just leave the states that don't want them and join us in gay-friendly states. What a shock it would be for those gay-hating states to lose all that disposable income. (If I were President, I would outlaw any federal funding to states that continue to discriminate)!
But the Dems have control of the House, and at this time, only Virginia seems to be in the way of Democratic control of the Senate. Webb, the Dem candidate is slightly ahead and calling it a victory. I hope he's right. (I am a bit worried that many of the winning Dems are moderate to conservative individuals). So all in all, a good election. Let's just see what happens now. And I'm sure the tv ads will soon begin for 2008!

For the time being we should just savor all of this, maybe even gloat a bit (for those of us who enjoy that sort of thing)...there will be plenty of time to scream and yell after we see exactly what all of these newly elected Dem's have up their sleeves come January.
But for now, savor, ah isn't it nice?
and don't forget that Italian Mom, all of 5'2", who is now second in line for the Presidency! She is the one purported to have "whipped" the Dems into a cohesive unit. I will never forget her bravery when she was often one of just a few Senators opposing the appointment of Condi, Gonzalez, and standing in Congress, opposing rows and rows of Congressional assholes by condemming the Iraq War, and the money that was continually appropriated for it, amomg other things.
Go Ms. Pelosi--we want you for PRes!
I am savoring as long as possible. I love the way Bush has changed his tune. Today, in addition to saying the Dems care about the safety of the US, Bush said he didn't mean "stay the course" meant do nothing but the same. Of course the strategy has to change, said Mr. Bush. What an ass!
