To think that this is a swipe againt “dick-swinging macho posturing” is as off-base as thinking that the 2000 election was a ratification of Clinton’s impeachment.

The republicans lost because they had become distasteful to republicans. They out-spent the Democrats, out-socialized medicined the Democrats (Medicare prescrptions) and out-amnestyed the Democrats on border control.

I really don’t think it will be that turbublent. I don’t see the Sky-is-falling scenarios (impeachment, constant investigations, Iraq cut&run, etc) happening because any of those would pretty much hand the White House to any serious Republican contender in ’08, and the Democrats are smarter than that. (I hope. It really sucks to lose to a dumbass.)

And as for the war-crimes “hope”, all I can say is I hope y’all belly up and give it a try. We’re your huckleberry.
