Brilliant
Wow, how did I miss Gib's awesome and incredible election day post? Thanks Petitedov for point it out. Hilarious:
1. Apparently it's perfectly OK to buy an election, and "I'm more likely to win if I flat-out buy the thing" is a perfectly ethical excuse. Don't worry, Obama supporters have too much integrity to gripe about it if you try it yourself.Posted by Karol at November 10, 2008 04:38 PM | TrackBack2. During Obama's term of office, his children will grow into young women, and a decision will have to be made as to whether to allow them to grow up in relative privacy, or to lurk about them like vultures, waiting for the opportunity to use them to further your own partisan advantage. The person who gets to decide which route we take is Bristol Palin.
3. Remember when Ayers or Wright would come up in conversation, and Obama supporters would decry the use of sideshow issues to distract America from talking about real issues? This was all a way of offering a tear-filled apology to former Senator George Allen for the whole "macaca" thing. If they could do it all over again, George, they totally would.
4. Speaking of Ayers, once Obama wins, can we finally go ahead and admit that when Obama first met him, he thought he was really cool? An impressionable young liberal out to change the world gets to meet someone who actually, literally fought The Man, and he thought that was wicked sweet! He more or less grew out of it, but he felt the same way about Ayers in the 90's that I felt about Eazy-E a few years earlier, and for largely the same reasons. Of course, I had the semi-excuse of being a sheltered 16 year old idiot, but hey, people do dumb things when they're crazy kids in their early 30's.

As someone who donated money to the campaign, I like to think of it more as investing in the election... not buying it. But that's just me.

Posted by: Casca at November 10, 2008 10:04 PMhahaha, casca's correcting my French and suggesting lawsuits? Why Obama has brought change to America already!
Posted by: nds at November 10, 2008 10:27 PMDawn, shouldn't we celebrate that we have something in common. I'm sure Obama would have wanted it that way.

Posted by: Gib at November 10, 2008 10:38 PMPetite, you're a white, female, Jew, what are the odds you (or I) even exist to this incoming cabinet?

I never saw you snarking on W getting a DUI and snorting whatever white powder he could lay hands on when he was in his 30's. Surely what's sauce for a goose and all that?
