From Frank Rich (via Aravosis).

The only thing I would disagree about is stating Palin earned any kind of victory at all, outside of the punditry and those who were already in love/lust with her (personally, I don't get it, I find her physically putrid). Go ask "Joe six-pack," almost no one, and I really mean almost no one seriously thinks she won the debate on any level. There's no reason to add to the myth that there should be any sort of win in her column. And let's be real, Joe six-pack is closer to Joe half a case, especially these days. Isn't it cute the campaign of the elitist beer family is pushing the idea that alcoholism and folksy ignorance is a perfectly acceptable way to refer to and talk about a sect of the involuntarily uneducated working class? Just don't call them bitter.

If there was some sort of Populus and Sim City mashed up computer game (do they still make those?), you could put these two assholes in charge of a fictional world to see what would happen if a voting population was stupid enough to put the fate of the world into their greedy little hands (in reality she'd probably kill him within a month, or someone would). At the very least, it would be extremely entertaining because, holy shit, would there be catastrophic drama. Until we have the capability of being copied as digitized code that can be uploaded into a program that spits out likely probabilities, we'll just have to wonder.

I'm hoping we can look forward to a somewhat boring 8 years, filled with quiet overturning of everything Bush ever did (and some of what Clinton did) in restoration to all that has been stolen from us, while holding those criminals accountable.
