On Tuesday, we had the highest voter turnout since 1968. The American people came out to speak loud and clear. I’m still having these little “aw, crap” moments, when I get a new perspective on what Tuesday’s election means:
- George Herbert Walker Bush, the grown-up, the World War II fighter pilot, couldn’t get a second term. It’s his son—who ducked out of his National Guard obligations, who turned surpluses into deficits in Texas and in Washington, and whose Doctrine of Infallibility makes him incapable of learning from experience—he’s the one who gets the second term.
- On September 12, 2001, the entire world was united against the terrorists. Today, the entire world is united against the Americans. And the voters have said, “That’s the way (uh-huh uh-huh) we liiiiike it (uh-huh uh-huh).”
- In eleven states, voters amended their state constitutions explicitly to deny certain American citizens their inalienable right to the pursuit of happiness. Once, the American ideal was to extend freedom to more and more people. Those days are gone.
