ACE OF SPADES - 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.
