Keep it! I didn’t want it anyway!

Now, I wouldn’t be an Amer­i­can if I didn’t enjoy another’s mis­for­tune, and in the wake of this elec­tion, I need a lit­tle enjoy­ment. Espe­cially at the expense of the Pres­i­dent Elect.

Sev­eral peo­ple have been point­ing out that a Kerry admin­is­tra­tion would have been a largly frus­trated and hope­less cause. The war in Iraq isn’t going to get any bet­ter. The econ­omy will con­tinue to limp along. Social Secu­rity and Medicare will con­tinue to rack up huge debts. The deficit will con­tinue to sky­rocket. In four years, a Demo­c­ra­tic admin­is­tra­tion would hardly have made any head­way against these lega­cies of George W. Bush, all the while endur­ing the vit­ri­olic barbs of the con­ser­v­a­tives say­ing, “We had a bet­ter plan, we would be out of Iraq by now!”

Bet­ter that Bush deal with his own damn legacy.
