I threw out all of my 'pundit' books just now.
Every one. The Iron Triangle, everything Frankin and Ivins, Carville's, dozens of others, in the garbage.

I didn't know any other way to vent my anger, and I thought this was the best way. Every sentence I memorized, every reference sticky, they failed me, they failed us.

I am trying to fight the terror, but it just keeps building.

I think I understand now what it must have felt like in Germany in 1933.

2. How did they fail us?
Each of those people you mentioned are American heroes. They didn't fail us, America did.

3. maybe it's for the best....
face it, geeb is a goofball who's held in contempt by most thinking people, his gangsters are proven liars and barely competent. in 4 years, with a significant minority on humanity feeling almost acidic hatred for the goof who's supposed to right things.....lol. also remember bush isn't really the winner; running the USA is difficult enough for a Bill C...much less a sick puppy oddball who thinks sweden's switzerland

4. Many of them did all they could do.
It's not Al Franken's fault that Kerry lost.
