Looking In On the Lefties: Post-Election Edition

Juan Cole is 'appalled' that some newsmen were cheerful about the 'Shiite political tsunami' (really tasteless choice of words there, Juan). Is he complaining that there aren't more Sunnis or that the ones that are there chose not to participate? Hard to tell, but it doesn't matter, after all - Bush Lied! People Died!...

Josh Marshall, who apparently lives in a land where the elections were never held, does have some "uber-cool 'Privatize This' TPM T-Shirts...just in time for the kick-off of the president's Social Security bamboozlepalooza tour". Josh, um, it's not very cool to use the phrase 'uber-cool'. Likewise, 'bamboozlepalooza'. Say, did Jim Hightower ghostwrite that copy?...

'Kos' says the Iraqi election was not a success, despite what us 'wingnuts' say, and compares the situation to....(drumroll)....Vietnam!!!, the war the Left can't let go of...

The Democratic Underground has a list of the 'Top Ten Conservative Idiots'. Number one is the Bush Administration. Whaaaa???? Did I read that right? Can an administration, or, to put it another way, a collection of officials who form the executive level of a governmental organization, be an idiot? Or could this, just perhaps, be a case of severe projection by the compiler of the aforementioned list? I leave that for you to decide...
