Blankley, you're just dying to slip a little poison into the morning-after breakfast, aren't you? Got news for ya: Go look up the word "majority" of the American people, and then keep posting these vicious little Phillipics from exile. Honestly, doesn't it feel like 1992 all over again? You, and others of your ilk, wish it were only so.

Speaking of breakfast, what was served in 2000?

What was served for breakfast in 2000 was the hash made of the US Constitution by partisans on the SCOTUS. With a side of a little ham named Antonin Scalia. Next question?

So I guess all the name calling by Polosi, Reid, other Dems in Congress and the Senate, Chris Mathews, Keith Olberman, most MSM....calling Pres Bush an idiot or worse constitutes civil dialoge for a liberal. AND NOW YOU CRY because Tony B's article offends you. Grow up.

That would be prosciutto, not ham. And no, it's not "1992 all over again" since "majority" was not something Clinton obtained. Not even in 1996. But I can see why someone who would link themselves to such a dim bulb like Wellstone would want to bandy the word "majority" around. After all, if I recall correctly, the last time a Democrat President won with a majority was 1976 (and we all know how well that turned out). Wow. Thirty-two years. A whole generation since a Democrat managed to get elected with a majority. Gore had his chance. He tried his best to steal the 2000 election but came up short (even the MSM Florida recount went against Gore who ended up zero and four in year 2000 vote count and recounts). I guess a man who could not even win his own state would have to stoop that low. I'm not a presidential historian but has any other major party candidate failed to carry his own state? Geesh. Even Mondale managed to win his state. I heard that Reagan could have made it fifty-to-zip but out of respect he refused to campaign, or even run commercials, in Minnesota. Let's be fair here. Obama deserves the same honeymoon Bush got.

I think for many of us, the honeymoon is already over. b.o. just can't quit playing around with those Washington insiders, after he promised CHANGE. My son is already wishing he'd listened to me and voted for anyone but b.o.

the honeymoon was over after grant park. i think we should begin to fight back before the enemy is entrenched. my suggestion is economic boycott the first target being general electric. the deal they gave warren buffett says they are vulnerable. grab them by there toe and don't let go until oberman is fired and the nbc networks admits their extreme bias and vows to correct it. other targets could be del monte foods(owner of pelosi's starkist tuna) and the city of chicago.

wellstone legacy i gather this is the first time you been in the end zone. "of your ilk" how tired is that. you fella s have a lot of courage your spunk runneth over, you graceless twit. '

wellstone will truly enjoy the next 4 years. It will look like a TV rerun of Clinton's first term. We will see the Obama-Clinton crowd squander our victory in Iraq and make a bigger hash out of Afghanistan than it is now. The economy will turn into a prolonged slump because the FEDs will act like vampires and drain the life out of everyone else's efforts and productivity.
