FAQ: Is Gloating Allowed Here?

Bbeck wants to know. Other sites have banned gloating.

So: Is it cool to do here?

Let me answer that question with another question:

Are you fucking kidding me?!

I don't plan on doing anything except gloat until Thanksgiving.

Update: WindyCity offers this quote from Dumb and Dumber, re: Dan Rather's insistence that John Kerry could make up a 145,000 vote deficit via some 175,000 provisional ballots, many of which would be disallowed as illegal:

Lloyd: "So what is the chance of a guy like you and a girl like me getting together?"

Mary : "Not good."

Llyod: "Not good, as in 100 to 1?"

Mary: "More like.... a million to 1."

Lloyd (ecstatic): "So you're telling me there is a chance!!!"

Gloating? I'm gonna' gloat like a fuckin' hammer!

Posted by: Dan-O on November 3, 2004 11:58 AM

Polls shmolls, I told you he'd win! I was wondering for a while if you were going to rename your blog Ace of Spaz.

I think we got a brand spakin' new governor here in WA, too (fingers crossed for Rossi). This state is the perfect example of the Demos same old shit supposed progressivism.

To paraphrase Blur, I feel a sense of enormous well being.

Posted by: Ken J on November 3, 2004 11:59 AM

Look at it this way: If the election had turned out the other way, do you think Kerry's supporters would be gloating over their defeat of the repugliKKKan$ and Chimpy McSmirkyface?

Ace,

A few points.

Yes.

No, Hell Yes.

Gloat.

The Bush Reelection is nothing short of historic.

Add to that gains in the House and Senate.

Gloat.

Yet.

Be brief (OK, until Thanksgiving).

There's still a war on.

Things may worsen.

Our troops are in Harm's way.

Yet, still...

Gloat.

John Forbes Kerry, say hello to a super-giant can of W. Whoop Ass.

Hell Yes

Posted by: MeTooThen on November 3, 2004 12:00 PM

Dude, I ain't Jeff Jarvis. I didn't sign any "be nice to dejected hate-filled partisans" pledge.

So. Let the gloating run freeeee!

Posted by: Jeff G on November 3, 2004 12:02 PM

Awwww, I thought I was going to be the first on.....anyway.....

HEY --Geoge, yeh you George SOROS, how does it feel throwing $28 MILLION down the crapper? I really wish you'd have tossed even MOORE away. Guess now you'll have to RUIN another Third world economy to recoup your loss.

And Bruce the EX-boss and the rest of the liberal elites out there.............
Gawd--soooo GOOOOOD--

I just read in today's Philadelphia Metro that Al Franken said he'd gloat if Kerry won and cry if Bush won.

God how I'm glad this man has nothing to gloat about. Like Alex, the tears of unfathomable sadness on the left are delicious... The sadness amongst my coworkers is rejuvenating me.

Posted by: Sean M. on November 3, 2004 12:28 PM

Johnny called the President to concede and was put on hold. The regular White House on-hold muzak has been replaced with this.

That's not gloating, is it?


Posted by: Dear Johns on November 3, 2004 12:32 PM

I'm in super gloat mode for the next day or so, at which point it's time to get serious again as W. gives the order to clean out Fallujah. (Do it right this time, baby!)

By the way, that sound you heard this morning when Kerry called W. with his concession?

That was the clamor of a hundred thousand terrorist and terrorist supporters' bungholes puckering.

Rumor has it that Baby Doc Assad and the Mullahs are so tight they're thinking about having colostomy bags installed.

Posted by: H.D. Miller on November 3, 2004 12:32 PM

Ace--

I'm not gloating over John Kerry. He would've made an awful president, but hey, we hold the election for a reason.

But gloating to Michael Moore? Priceless.

BTW, my Red Sox/Damien Karras analogy worked perfectly with Senator Kerry-- he sucked The Curse into him.

But really, did anyone expect anything more?

Posted by: AndrewF on November 3, 2004 12:38 PM

I LOVE GLOATING! And I don't care if it is "stooping to their level". I've had enough of not "stooping to their level" - there were many times in the campaign that Bush could have done so but didn't. Fine. He's classier than me. So, IN YOUR FACE you liberal f**king whining p*ssies! You can all commiserate in Fallujah when we bomb it to glass.

Posted by: Chris on November 3, 2004 12:43 PM

Right fucking on, Ace.

Gloat til you bloat.

Posted by: Frank Villon on November 3, 2004 01:30 PM

Senator Kerry,

As the brother of one of those 'Genghis Khans' you mocked and denigrated and as somebody who personally experienced the scorn for the military you helped foster (U.S. Army '73-'76) I would say to you SIT DOWN NOW AND STFU!

(sorry for shouting)

Posted by: BrewFan on November 3, 2004 01:33 PM

Brewster:

Because of the long term damage Kerry and his vain political ambitions have done to the fabric of our country, we should never, I mean never, have to hear a word from his yapping piehole again.(But not before his overdue concession speech.) Nothing but glorious, ignominious silence from that prick.

And close the chapter on Vietnam once and for all.

Posted by: kelly on November 3, 2004 02:28 PM


Thank you, thank you.

My competitor, the distinguished war hero John F. Kerry has called to concede defeat. -pause for applause- He had some words he thought were wise "Now go unite the country", so I've been thinking. As a piece of the new Unification, I'd like to call on those who voted for the esteemed Senator from the great state of Massachusetts to help make some crucial decisions.

Please place these items in the order most pleasing to you, and I'll push hard to do them in that order:

1) Invade Syria
2) Compulsory draft
3) Invade Iran
4) Eliminate Social Security
5) Donate $50 billion to the drug companies
6) Donate $50 billion to Saudi Arabia
7) Donate $50 billion to Halliburton
8) Liberate France
9) Charge the United Nations back taxes
10) Open everywhere for drilling
11) Begin construction of 50+ nuclear power plants
12) Replace 4 Supreme Court Justices with: Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, Pat Buchanon, and the head puppet from Team America.
13) Declare Palestine a state, then invade.
14) Constitutional Amendment on gay marriage.
15) Eliminate IRS
16) Eliminate all 'non-enumerated' powers of the Federal Government.
17) Drill on Mars.
18) Push back on the WTO with respect to Boeing/Airbus. Hard.

Pick quick, I'm planning 6 a year as a minimum. Ta!

Unite _this_. ;)

Posted by: Al on November 3, 2004 02:44 PM

I'm going beyond gloating. I'm also taunting and making leftist cry.

Posted by: joey on November 3, 2004 03:27 PM

It is unfathomable to me why anyone wouldn't gloat, when their opponents have been calling them Fascists for the last four years.

Dear Liberals,

How do you like me NOW, BITCH??? I was right, you were wrong, and EVERYBODY IN THE WHOLE COUNTRY FUCKING AGREES THAT YOU SUCK AND I AM RIGHTEOUS.

Here's a kleenex. You're welcome.

Go make me a sandwich. Now.

Al:

#16 in your list is actually a very good idea. With any luck we'll soon have a SCOTUS that understands the limits of the Commerce Clause.

Posted by: Captain Ned on November 3, 2004 04:01 PM

For the first time in ages I visited the left wing sites such as Willis, Kos, DU etc... I couldn't help myself but to watch them wallow in their own misery, struggling to find some way to blame the right or Bush himself.

I am relishing the Schadenfreude today.

Michael Moore seems to be missing today, perhaps he's busy watching those hours of video from the polls.

"Look, that guy who looks Republican just looked funnily at the Democrat voter in OH! My non-partison expert eye smells voter intimidation and a new movie! "

Posted by: DelphiGuy on November 3, 2004 04:07 PM

Well, I ran out of the insane DNC rhetoric. The enumeration clause is doomed... but no reason not to point out "Hey, _THAT_ is right-wing, cutting Dept of XYZ 5% isn't right wing."

Drilling on Mars will happen before that though.

Posted by: Al on November 3, 2004 04:52 PM

Ace,

Hey, my gloat is too long and it wouldn't fit! lol.

Shoot. How much do I have to edit the thing? I don't want to bust your rules.

Later,

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network
@TCNetwork

The people in charge [Jews, of course -- ace] don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus.

Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity.

Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this.
He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again.
You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.

Politico is reporting that multiple people have abruptly resigned from Eric Swalwell's gubernatorial campaign: "Members of senior leadership have departed the campaign, including Courtni Pugh, a strategic adviser who served as Swalwell's top liaison to organized labor groups."

So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations.
That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera
