Mrs. Norman Lear: If Dems Don't Win, the Only Answer 'Will Be to Take to the Streets'

Lyn Davis Lear is worried. As Mrs. Norman Lear writes in the Huffington Post, President Bush, Karl Rove and Vice President Cheney appear awfully confident of retaining a Congressional majority. This, despite the fact the mainstream media merrily reports every poll suggesting a huge Democratic victory, if not a landslide, is only two weeks away.
Mrs. Lear frets that Republicans are planning an election eve surprise, or may win by spending so much more than their opponents. Then again, maybe they're planning to just steal the election.
Gore Vidal suggested to her that "the Bush-Cheney henchmen could simply call on martial law." This has her "thinking", too.
So many nefarious schemes, so little time. Mrs. Lear's recommendation is, "we should all be on alert. If for whatever reason we don't win back Congress in November the only real answer will be to take to the streets."
Take to the streets? Aren't there enough loons wandering the streets of Beverly Hills already?
I just love it when multimillionaires go into their "power to the people" mode. Marrying this paranoid archliberal suggests that Norman Lear still has a good sense for the absurd.

Gore Vidal would react to a Republican victory by taking it in the seat!

Yes, I can see Mrs Lear 'taking it to the streets' of Beverly Hills, probably in her Rolls, or maybe her Escalade, or maybe her Cayenne....
I believe it was the Lears who had a twenty-car air-conditioned garage built on their property....
Mrs Lear is a Loon, and so is her husband with his stupid hat, who is living off stealing a British TV show and adapting it for American TV. Only in America, only in America.....

The more accurate statement might be:
"If we lose, we'll have our limo drivers go to the White House, throw Grey Poupon at Karl Rove, and then we'll get really, really mad next time."
Rove, you magnificent bastard........

I always laugh when I read these moonbat outbursts about "taking to the streets". With what?!? You stupid dip$4!7s don't own guns; we do! What are you going to do? Overwhelm us with the stench of B.O. and patchouli oil?!
