Gloating

On the phone with Son of Nixon right now.

The topic?

Gloating.

This is the best day of my life.

Giggling like schoolgirls on happygas.

Gloating Highlights:

Buzz on Boston talk radio is that Massachusetts SJC Chief Justice Margaret Marshall re-elected George Bush. By demanding that the court take up the gay marriage issue -- and force it on an unwilling population -- she inspired, directly, 11 anti-gay-marriage amendments, some in key states, and one in Ohio.

A grateful nation thanks you, Ms. Marshall.

Next, whoever put Juan Williams on FoxNews last night deserves a huge bonus. Son of Nixon's favorite moment (which didn't quite happen, but almost did):

BRIT: So, Juan. We're giving Florida and Ohio to Bush. What do you think of that? Juan...? Juan...? Are you all right, Juan? Do you want a glass of water, Juan?

Howard Stern has apparently turned on erstwhile liberal ally Jon Stewart, asking the key question: "Why would anyone listen to Jon Stewart? He's an idiot, and he's not even funny."

Al Franken and Bill Maher are spinning the brutal defeat as good for them, personally. See, they're comedians (or so they say), and a humorously incompetent President like Bush will just make them rich. Yayyyy.

The best part: Son of Nixon notes that, in a President's second term, he sort of has to take it easy, because he doesn't want to upset the apple-cart for his Vice President and political heir. In this case, however, neither Bush nor Cheney will ever run for elective office ever again, so Bush is free to pursue, as SoN puts it, "all sorts of crazy-ass shit." The kind of shit that's sooo crazy-ass that even hard-core conservatives say, "Now look here, Old Bean. I'm all for unilateralism and all, but I don't know if we can just invade a country for 'looking at us funny'."

That level of absolutely lunatic wingnut shit. That's what I'm all about.

And the liberals are going to hate it.

Cry.

Michael Moore's site is back up.

I reserve the right to use a "C-bomb" describing MM. That OK?

Posted by: fat kid on November 3, 2004 05:03 PM

I know the feeling.

I feel "walking in a Disney movie's forest with the birds chirping and the bunnies hopping" kind of giddy.

All of the leftist moonbats must be going mad (or even madder than usual)!

Not to boast too much, but I had a better day than you. After 4 months of unemployment, I got a new job today and John Kerry didn't. Hope I'm not too hung over to start work tomorrow morning . . . .

You won't find John Kerry in either on Christmas

Local radio reports an anti-war rally today, in San Francisco of all places, and only a few dozen hardcore moonbats showed up. Tee Hee.

Posted by: Bud Tugley on November 3, 2004 05:42 PM

sounds like somebody's gonna need a wet-nap to clean off!

Posted by: ken on November 3, 2004 05:43 PM

It's amazing, how quickly you discover you work in an office full of happy Bush voters.

Then again, I work at the Pentagon, so it's not *too* surprising.

As for gloating, I've had to take it a bit easy. Many/most of my personal friends are lefties, but they're lefties who never really rubbed it in. Thus, I feel compelled to restrain my natural "SMACK, BEYOTCH! IN YOUR FACE! SUCK IT!" instinct.

I know that, as the Romans said, all glory is fleeting. I'll have to suffer a losing election at *some* point in the future, and by being magnanimous to my friends, I at least earn the Ghandiesque moral high ground if/when they throw my inevitable defeat into my face.

That all said-- I don't know Michael Moore personally, so I don't feel any reason to restrain my gloating as far as he is concerned. So fuck Michael Moore, that fat fucking fucktard of fucking fuckitude.

Ahhh. . . what a wonderful day, is it not?

Tomorrow, back to winning the war. We're all clear, kids. . . now let's blow this thing and go home.

Cheers,
Dave

Ace, ya gotta do a Top Ten Gloat list!

O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay! He chortled in his blog.
the Nation thanks you, Ace, and all of Blogistan for your service to the Country.

4 more years.

PS remind Allah that there IS life after Lurch and the Breck Girl.

Ace--

If you do that top ten (great idea, BTW), sure to include some totally crazy things, such as anything involving:
-- Random vengeful use of nuclear weaponry
-- Eating of live animals during press conferences
-- Pantslessness
-- Sharks with laser beams
-- Giant fighting robots

Yeah, this term is gonna be *great*. . .

Cheers,
Dave

Ace,

I just got off the phone with a relative asking me to explain the Bush election.

My relative is a 30-something living in NYC, he is a writer, a Leftist, and he sounded humbled by the election results.

We talked for an hour or more about W., the GWOT, the 9-11, Hitchens, US History, everything.

I told him had the Massachusests Supreme Court not mandated its Legislature to pass a gay marriage bill, Bush would have lost.

Great minds think alike.

I'm new at this so don't know how to link, but I'm having way too much fun trolling over at Atrios watching the loonies self-destruct. Someone more experienced: please tell me if it's polite to troll on the dark side and whether or not brain-damage can occur if you do it too much. Thanks.

Posted by: The Old Coot on November 3, 2004 06:32 PM

It's fine to do, but you're just giving them traffic.

I know that trolls don't bother me. I'm happy to have trolls here. I don't think "Troll" so much as "unique daily visitor," plus, because trolls piss off the non-trolls so much, it's also good for some additional visits/reloads.

Posted by: ace on November 3, 2004 06:34 PM

Thanks, Ace! But what of my other question: will staying there too long cause brain damage?

Posted by: The Old Coot on November 3, 2004 06:41 PM

I envision Bush with fifteen nuclear footballs all in a row, flipping the bird with both fingers, saying "I'm a lame duck, so FUCK YOU ASSHOLES! Sit and spin while I take care of business!", after which he starts hitting the buttons, one in a row... Iraq, North Korea, France, Germany, Syria, France, France....

Posted by: McGurk on November 3, 2004 06:55 PM

I saw the moonbats in San Francisco this morning, milling around Justin Herman Plaza and the Hyatt Regency as I came to work around 10AM (I was up late getting drunk at the GOP party last night, and don't have an assignment until tomorrow). Pretty pathetic crowd, really; I got them mixed up with the hotel worker picket around the corner. But lots of police motorcycle escorts.

I made a point of honking my motorcycle horn at them, just before riding past them with my hand in the air making the "W" sign, with a Bush/Cheney sticker on my helmet and an American Flag shoulder bag on my back.

Indymedia says there's going to be another one at Powell and Market today. I think I'm gonna have to make an appearance at that one too. Bwah-hahahahahahah.

And in my drunken revelry last night, I left the GOP party carrying a massive Bush/Cheney sign (something like 5 feet by 3 feet, stiff cardboard) that is now taking up space in my apartment. Can anyone in SF help me think of creative prank ideas for it -- like hanging it off a prominent location somewhere (the roof of the DNC campaign HQ on Market) as if to say "PWNED" -- and logistical assistance?

Failing that, the sign is up for grabs as a souvenir.

The Mass Court trying to shove gay marriage down people's throat had an impact, but a small one. Kerry easily won in states like Oregon, where gay marriage went down by a 3 to 1 vote.

The Swift Vets had a huge impact.

Some of the voting demographics were good, others bad for Bush.

1. He did much better with women and Hispanics. His share of the Hispanic vote was up from 28% to 40%. He almost got a majority of women - a big change from the days they swooned for Bill or Algore.

2. Once again he was strongly rejected by blacks and Jews, despite his outreach efforts and unreserved pro-Israeli policy stances. Blacks went to 11% from 9% in 2000, Jews from 19% to 23% Bush.

3. Muslims also rejected him for Kerry.
As did "coastal" whites with graduate degrees.

4. Reagan Democrats stayed far more loyal to Bush than Kerry people expected, despite outsourcing and job losses.

Trolling can be a great hobby. But it's even more fun if you do it with enough subtlety that they aren't sure you are a troll. Asking questions, for instance, is often far more effective than making statements.

Though I admit that the flame-wars that result after a nice inflammatory statement do have their own appeal.

And NEVER troll under your 'own' nickname.

Posted by: Kathy K on November 3, 2004 07:07 PM

Oh, Old Coot...

It won't cause brain damage unless you try seriously to argue with them.

Posted by: Kathy K on November 3, 2004 07:08 PM

Old Coot,

A mom caught her son masturbating and said "Johnny, don't do that or you'll go blind!" Johnny asked "Can I stop when I need glasses?"

Same idea with trolling vis a vis brain damage. Enjoy!

Posted by: BrewFan on November 3, 2004 08:53 PM

I have this wonderful mental image of a serenely confident W, turning towards an ashen and desolate Kerry and solemnly intoning: "I'm Rick James, bitch!" :)

Posted by: Kent on November 3, 2004 10:26 PM

There needs to be one clear message that stems from our great victory today...if you listen closely, you can hear the beginning drumbeat...
THE BUSH REVOLUTION...

Posted by: thevirginian66 on November 4, 2004 12:07 AM

McGurk: Sounds good -- I'll take two.

"Crazy-ass shit?!?" Two words: Bring! It! On!

I see Bush slicing like a fucking hammer for 4 more years! ULULULULULULULULULU!! And one big fat AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH.

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.
