There isn't a bigger loser on the planet right now than Frank Lautenberg. I'm sure Mondale spent the entire Election Tuesday night calling his campaign managers to tell them not to order any recount under any circumstances. In fact, he probably waited until the results from other states were in, then had several thousand of his supporters go out and vote for Coleman.
Do you think he's lying? Or do you think he's really such a completely clueless jackass that he didn't know his behavior was absolutely uncivil?
You're not moving on until the clerk in the unemployment line yells:
"Next!"
Ahhh...but to THEM, Wellstone's death was a blessing because he wasn't doing well in the polls. They could care less about people dying. People low, vile things to them. Just ask them...they'll tell you.
The DISASTER to them was the idea their lunacy during the memorial/celebration/campaign-kickoff rally may have cost them the election. It may not have made much difference, either...of all the has-beens they could dig up and dust off, MONDALE was the worst possible choice.
I refer to this phenomenon as The Reverse Sally Field Moment, when the subject suddenly realizes, "You don't like me. You really don't like me!"
Normal human defenses will prevent The Reverse Sally Field Moment at all costs and in the face of almost any evidence.
Nah, it's not new. They've always given nasty things different labels, in order to make them more appealing to the masses. They've labeled socialist collectivism as "sensitivity" for years. Examples from recent history: "saving Bosnia", "it takes a villiage", "co-you-know-what-sident" and "Senate plurality leader"
Conducts as in present tense.
Sleazy bum can't stop asking the mirror on the wall about his legacy.
Pathetic!
How do you forgive someone who hasn't apologized?
OK, pal. If you say so. Personally, I think you're full of used food, but whatever blows your skirt up. What was too much to expect was the American electorate putting up with so-called "liberal" shenanigans such as the Wellstone Funearally. The internet and so-called 'conservative' news outlets are at least providing an alternative to the classical brainwashing the mouthbreathers have been subject to for decades. I'm at least seeing encouraging signs of life in the electorate, though I won't hold my breath.
That's a good point. Somewhere on FreeRepublic there is a personal account from a Freeper who was riding on the same Amtrak train as Democratic speechwriter Bob Shrum on the day of that Wellstone rally -- and he overheard all of Shrum's cell phone conversations with McAuliffe, Harkin, etc. while Shrum was writing the speech that Harkin would deliver that night.
The problem is that the governor of NJ is a dem (IIRC). Lautenberg can step down in six months for "health" reasons and another dem will be put in. Mondale would have had to stick out the full term to keep a Republican governor from replacing him with a Republican.
Wellstone Memorial on C-SPAN2 NOW!
Stupid idiots! The PROBLEM was that the Clintoons and the Mondale's don't have sense enough to behave in a reverent manner at a MEMORIAL SERVICE, for God's sake. It irritates the heck out of me that they're blaming this on the grieving family members of Paul Wellstone. The family members didn't tell the Clintoons and the Mondale's to behave like disgusting, IDIOTS! Grrrrrrrrr.
That works for the Democrats if their only goal is to keep the seat in Democratic hands, but life will be a lot easier for the Bush administration now that they can write off New Jersey entirely.
Look at Vermont, with two of the biggest @ssholes in the U.S. Senate (Jim Jeffords and Pat Leahy). That state isn't going to get a nickel of federal money for the next two years, even if al-Qaeda sends a billion Islamic terrorists to invade from Canada.
In other words, nobody who McGreevey might name to replace the Lout (other than any number of Republicans) is going to make one heck of a difference for New Jersey in the U.S. Senate.
