Barbi Weiner, a third grade teacher currently on disability, is suing the Republican party for having taken an active role in returning George Bush to the White House, a circumstance that resulted in Ms. Weiner suffering a nervous collapse last Nov.8th as she crossed West 72nd Street. "I looked up and saw the WestSideWaffle! sign with its big red 'W’s,'" she says. "And I realized it was true – he won. Then I started thinking about my life and I realized that I couldn’t go on living in a country where a war-mongering baby-killer holds the highest office in the land. I guess I lost it."

I have mixed emotions.

Part of me is outraged at the state of tort law in Murrica.

Part of me is overjoyed that the election caused (yet another) liberal to have a complete nervous breakdown.

:o)

Last name Weiner, lives in New York. I wonder if she's related to Michael Savage?

After I win this suit I’m going to go after all the people who voted for this war criminal. If voting for a terrorist doesn’t violate the Patriot Act, I don’t know what does."

LOL. While it is a satire it is still too close to the truth! I get a kick out of reading the local letters to the editor. They are still clueless.

Worthy of a Rush Ping, since he has covered this topic several times. This lady is a certifiable loon.

Nobody is this ridiculously stupid. Not even a Democrat.

This article's a satire, but oh yes they are. You're not on PJ-Comix' DUmmie FUnnies list, are you?

Its probably satire, but by choosing the name of the teacher there may have been a unconscious connection made by the writer!

For Heaven's sake. Sheesh! This is just stupid. Thanks for the ping. :)

You're right - satire. I pinged the article after reading it from the frontpagemag site, but before I read the comments. I guess I'm just so used to the whackiness of the left, that I believed it.

I hope you realized it was satire...I couldn't tell from your response:)
