Sob, sob, sob. Poor Laura Ingraham suffers from a bunching down below.
"Democrats, in my mind, don't have a mandate because they stood for nothing," radio host Laura Ingraham told her listeners yesterday.
If the Dems had nothing and won, the Republicans had less than nothing. And until yesterday ruled. Sob, sob.
"Republicans lost last night, but conservatism did not," Rush Limbaugh said on the 600 stations that carry his program. "The Democrats beat something last night with nothing. They advanced no agenda, other than their usual antiwar position."
Let's play thumper. How do you play? Signs. The signs are not good, but they could be worse. Sob, sob.
Two distinct camps quickly emerged among the columnists, talkers and bloggers who spent much of the last six years defending the administration. One carried an air of defiance, the other a mood of resignation that what President Bush yesterday called an electoral "thumping" was perhaps deserved.
Sob, sob, sob.
"People are obviously depressed, but there's also been a sense among conservatives for a long time that Republicans deserved to be taken to the woodshed, and perhaps this will be cathartic," said Rich Lowry, editor of National Review.
Or more than tears will fall for the sobbing SOBs. A bit of blood. Red for those red in the face. Sob, sob.
Plus 'No Joy in Foxville':
Around 11 o'clock last night, as Brit Hume, grandfatherly reading glasses perched on the edge of his nose, finally conceded that the Democrats had won a majority in the House, he unleashed Fox News' most dramatic visual embellishment of the evening. He flipped a switch and the front of the anchor desk, where Hume sat with the usual Fox talking heads, lit up with the words "Democrats Take The House." Images of fireworks flashed on either side. The graphic was an extremely low-budget affair, but Hume glowed for a moment and then glowered at the camera, "Just so our viewers know, we would have turned on the sign and the fireworks if the other side had won too."
Armey of One? Don't check on a dead skunk, the Revolution is over. Sob, sob, SOBs. See you in the cellar. How low can the Republicans go? Sob, sob.
