Angry Dems: Bush Win Worse Than 9/11

The results of Tuesday's election have driven Democratic ultra liberals completely batty, with some now saying George Bush's victory was actually worse than the 9/11 attacks.

An online poll conducted by the Web site Democratic Underground found that 72 percent agree that Bush's re-election was the more devastating of the two events, with 28 percent who said it wasn't.

DU members were invited to explain their votes. One typical response:
"9/11 was an outside attack on our country and was terrible. 11/3 was an inside attack on everything our country stands for and should be, it will have been far worse historically."

Other DU'ers, however, realized how nutty the comparison was. Complained one poster:

"This way out attitude, I'm afraid, is what contributed to our loss Tuesday. How mainstream is it to believe that an election loss is more depressing than one of the worst days in the history of our land?"
