Morford: Dear World: Sorry About Bush
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | Wednesday, November 17, 2004 | Mark Morford, SF Gay Columnist

It's a movement. It's a phenomenon. It's a Web site. Or maybe it's far more than that. No one can really be sure. No matter what it is, it's called sorryeverybody.com and it expresses, better than any outpouring so far, a sentiment that's omnipresent and palpable and still going strong, and every single Democrat and every single Kerry supporter and every single liberal of any stripe whatsoever probably felt it like a white-hot stab in the heart the minute Kerry's concession speech hit the airwaves and it undoubtedly went something like this:

Dear world: We are so very, very sorry. For Bush. For our bitterly divided and confused nation. For what's to come. Please know that tens of millions of us did not vote for him. Please do not hate us. Not all of us, anyway. OK, maybe Utah. Do you know where Utah is? Never mind.

See, not only is half of America still deeply dejected about the onslaught of Dubya Dubya II, but much of that half wants the world to know just how crestfallen we are, and just how awful we feel for inflicting Bush and his middle-finger foreign policy on them like a virus, a toxin, a nasty STD, yet again.

After all, we knew this wasn't no ordinary election. We knew how much was at stake, how this one represented a sea change in global attitudes, a dramatic upheaval and reversal of long-standing American ideas of cooperation and defense and restraint, ideas that BushCo has now mutated into a hollow, kill-'em-all faux-cowboy maverick attitude, an almost irreversible shift, mostly backward. Or downward.

But here's the genius part. Beyond e-mail, beyond blogs or radio shows or despondent letters to the editor or overly verbose progressively insulated Left Coast columnists

Shouldn't he be in some kind of re-education camp for homosexuals? Didn't the hysterical left say that would happen after Bush won?

Well, it takes time. First he has to eviscerate Social Security and let all the old people die, and also starve the school children. THEN, he can turn the nursing homes and schools into the re-education camps. Logistics, you know. And then of course it'll be hard to finance because there's the economic shambles that will result from forcing all the women back into the kitchen. The shoe industry will be particularly hard hit since all the women will be barefoot and pregnant... *sigh* so much to do, so little time.

These people really do not believe in democracy do they? Can anyone imagine conservatives doing this?

The Mediots are working overtime to spin the "bitterly divided" talking point.

They even used a statical map which distorts the states based on population to "adjust" the USA to look equaly divided. (liars figure and figures lie)

We are not bitterly divided. This is a majority of americans who have no desire or love of democrat party principles.

If the leftists like mortford admit that they are in a group that is a shrinking minority then they can be marginalized even further. It also means lobists have no reason to pay money to anyone in their democrat (gay) party.

If you reaaaaly want to take an example from the past, when Reagan fired the PATCO traffic controlers europe gasped. It meant the USA was not going to take the road to a commie workers paradise. Now Europe et al are agast because Bush has shown they will not allow the USA to be the whipping post of the world.

Ah, but the part Morford inhabits certainly is.

“…And in the darkest depths of Morford, I met a girl so fair…” or something like that.

Not bitter, not divided, not 50%.

Aw, surprise of surprises, the party of self-hatred and self-destruction... er... self-destructed! What a shock! What can one gay, out-of-touch-with-reality, walled up in SF, man do, but whine and wallow in self-lothing, fear, and ignorance? Morford is certainly the Den Mother of that troop! Now... we need something he didn't quite mention... closure. Morford, don't you have that urge to go to the medicine cabinet, break out the prescription barbiturates, get a bottle of Absolute, and go the way of Karen Ann Quinlan? Of course you do!

Yes, let's apologize, and try to work out our differences through discussion! That is the Film Actor's Guild way!
