Thank God that's finally over!

The election I mean.  I don't know about the rest of you out there but I never thought I'd miss those Viva Viagra and double bath tub Cialis commercials, but I did.  Not because I haven't been able to figure what separate outdoor bath tubs has to do with erectile disfunction, but because I was sick of hearing one candidate lie about the other and which proposition was going to ruin my life and which would make it perfect.  And now we know the real reason elections are only held every two or four years....because if we had to put up with this crap on an annual basis, no one would watch television for the last 6 months leading up to election day.

And as for the Matt Drudges and rush Limbaughs of this world, do us all a favor and just shut the hell up for awhile.  Your boy W screwed this country up about as badly as any one man could in 8 years and your party was punished for it.  Yes, I know the Democrats controlled congress for the last 2 of it, but the wheels had come off long before that occurred.  And enough of the racist undertones Matt Drudge.  Yeah, I am calling you out for your oh so clever title for your November 5th column.  "Senior citizen and woman beaten by black man."  

Probably thought of that months ago and just sat on it, hoping it wouldn't happen but ready with a zinger if it did.  Well, it did happen.  It happened because not everyone in this country sees the winner as a black man.  In fact, more people in this country see him as THE man, than a black man, so keep your snarky, racist crap to yourself and do the rest of thinking America a favor and clam up already.  Your guy lost.  For a lot of reasons, not the least of which was Sarah Palin.  And negative campaigning that didn't work. And personal attacks, which didn't work.  And being too stupid to know that when you live in 8 glass houses, throwing verbal stones like calling your opponent who doesn't own 8 homes an elitist, makes you look hypocritical at best.  And because the last nitwit your party stuck us with has done more damage to this nation's world image than anyone could repair in 4 terms, never mind in only (the first) 4 years.

So save your ponderings for the nice, private, inner recesses of your mind and let the rest of the country get back to the real work of making this nation great again.  Since you've clearly forgotten the Pledge of Allegiance, I'll remind you it specifically states, "One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."  That "all" there at the end includes victorious candidates from the opposing party.  No matter how much you wish it didn't.
