I am, of course, very pleased at the voters’ “immense repudiation” of Wormtongue, as the Streetwise Professor has it. As a commenter there wrote: “…his base of black, student, Hispanic and cemetery voters stayed home.” Heh.
Indeed, as PJMedia’s Michael Ledeen says, the Worm and his party were rejected and “On your current record, you’re doomed. Surely you noticed that the good young talent is Republican, and that young voters are getting distinctly reddish?
Likewise I was delighted to see the comeuppance for the smirking pollsters who “rank a close second to Obama in The Biggest Loser results…”
But Akaky at The Passing Parade notes we still are stuck with the adolescent ADHD jackass for another two years. Still time for plenty of mischief.
“…our Illinois Incitatus appears to think of his current office as being akin to being the Mayor of Chicago, except with better golf courses and nuclear weapons.”
Fortunately for us, he only uses the former, not the latter. So far, anyhow.
Incitatus? You could look it up. It was the name of Caligula’s horse and means “swift” in Latin which, as regards Wormtongue, apparently is meant to be ironic. ‘Cause he ain’t too.
