Oh my, this has been a fine day indeed.

The wife, though: look at that little Cheneyesque snarl.

i couldn't think of anything for her to say :(

― gbx (skowly), Thursday, 9 November 2006 02:40 (nineteen years ago)

A "GRRRRRRR" would suffice.

I'm not seeing any Webb updates anywhere.

He won. The AP called it 40 mins ago.

A friend's take on Santorum's daughter: "She looks like a gay just married her puppy."

Virginia was my hometown state! WOOHOO! That Republican guy he beat had been in the state's politics for what must have been at least 15 years. My dad worked in state government and used to complain about him back when I was too young to understand a lot of things.

If I had any energy, I'd make a gif of all their chins quivering, incl. the eagle and Pastor Ted.

Awesome, thanks for putting Hulk Hogan up there, Grady.

Lieberman to caucus with Dems, chair Homeland Security and Govt Affairs

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Thursday, 9 November 2006 05:37 (nineteen years ago)

If Morbius needs a reason to cry over Ford's loss: imagine how hard they could have fucked Lieberman if he wasn't required for the majority.

That would have been the third-most enjoyable thing about this election, after Rummy and Mr. Lube & Fecal Matter.

― milo z (mlp), Thursday, 9 November 2006 06:32 (nineteen years ago)

ok, so i was wrong and you were right re whether lieberman would stay a dem or jump to the GOP.

(i still don't like the dude, tho').

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Thursday, 9 November 2006 06:34 (nineteen years ago)

there's still time for him to head EPA!

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Thursday, 9 November 2006 06:38 (nineteen years ago)

or take over for Chertoff

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Thursday, 9 November 2006 06:38 (nineteen years ago)

but I think he's a legislator and not going anywhere

and now that most of the people who elected him were independents and republicans he's going to feel a lot more beholden to them and less so to the Dems

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Thursday, 9 November 2006 06:47 (nineteen years ago)

no surprises, then?

― internet downpause (kenan), Thursday, 9 November 2006 06:50 (nineteen years ago)

man, i wish William Atherton got more screen work

This shit's getting a bit long, Let's talk about your shiny new congress over here:

What's a Democratic Congress going to do?

― Ed (dali), Thursday, 9 November 2006 08:06 (nineteen years ago)

y'know, i'd heard he was running, but i didn't know he won. John Hall won a House seat from NY.

Oh yeah, and if you didn't know, here's what got him mad enough to run:

In the final days of the 2004 presidential campaign, Hall saw a clip from a Bush rally in Columbus, Ohio, aired on Lou Dobbs' CNN show and was appalled to hear "Still the One" playing in the background at the event. His permission to use it had not been sought or given. After wide press coverage via the AP, the Bush campaign promised to cease and desist. So John Hall can make one claim most already-elected Democrats cannot: He got President Bush to back down at least once.

Sarasota County Supervisor of Elections Kathy Dent said she received reports from both Jennings and Buchanan supporters that the machine did not register their vote for the 13th race.
She encouraged voters who had problems to report them to her office, but didn’t know what they would be able to do.

“After the fact, there’s not a lot we can do about it.”

You know, the Bush "assessment" conference really wasn't all that funny on TV. Musta been drunk w/ schadenfreude.

I also saw Rahm Emanuel (for the first time) on C-SPAN explaining specific districts' polling/ad team strategy for about 90 seconds, and my reaction (aside from boredom) was that gabbneb must be watching and climaxing.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 9 November 2006 14:38 (nineteen years ago)

'DO you think I'm nuts?' 'Have I lost my sensibilities..., gregory?'

not funny?

― jhoshea megafauna (scoopsnoodle), Thursday, 9 November 2006 14:45 (nineteen years ago)

I made a download out of the CSpan stream because I hate streams: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VAX23MZ0

you can play it in Real Alternative

so G.Allen is pondering a non-challenge so, under the cover of 'magnanimity,' he can run again at the earliest convenience with minimal soreloserness?

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 9 November 2006 14:53 (nineteen years ago)

Six years = earliest convenience?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 9 November 2006 14:59 (nineteen years ago)

Does Rahm Emmnuel's coronation mean that he (and not Karl Rove) is the new Mark Hanna?

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn (Alfred Soto), Thursday, 9 November 2006 15:00 (nineteen years ago)

allen is pondering a non-challenge cause he knows there's no way he's making up 7k votes.

― jhoshea megafauna (scoopsnoodle), Thursday, 9 November 2006 15:11 (nineteen years ago)

Plus, people are starting to bring up Allen telling Gore to get over it in 2000.

― Beth S. (Ex Leon), Thursday, 9 November 2006 15:26 (nineteen years ago)

morbius, can you try to sound more cynical and sour about everything, please? thanks. I mean, if you hate this shit so much and nobody's any damn good.. Well, life is short, so why don't you spend your life focusing on shit that doesn't make you feel bitter, bored, and cynical?

― dar1a g (daria g), Thursday, 9 November 2006 15:35 (nineteen years ago)

^^^^ should be in the FAQ

― gbx (skowly), Thursday, 9 November 2006 15:44 (nineteen years ago)

Sorry to shit on your Dems Are the Greatest cake, darla. You can get mouthbreathers like Chris Matthews telling you how great our system and the people in it are all over dumbass cable.

well, when is Warner's seat open? dude could retire. But Nixon waited 8 years after '60, six after losing the guv race. True, he never said Macaca.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 9 November 2006 15:45 (nineteen years ago)

I like how you completely avoided her point there, that was good.

― Django Blowhardt (Rock Hardy), Thursday, 9 November 2006 15:47 (nineteen years ago)

True, he never said Macaca.

He recorded himself in the Oval Office uttering far worse racial slurs, though.
