Quote of the Day II

"It strikes me that the celebratory mood our side should embrace for awhile has dried up rather quickly. Yes there are lots of things in the world to be pissed about which won't magically be fixed the day we start calling her Speaker Pelosi. Yes the media sucks and our leaders are imperfect. And, yes, George Bush shit the bed and there's no good way to unshit it.

But, no, the future of the Republic doesn't depend on who is elected to be Majority leader, or just about anything else right now.

Relax. Put your feet up. Feel like a winner for a few minutes."

I'm still on cloud nine, for the record.
