move beyond the gloating, BUT, my son and I listen to Armed Forces radio in Japan, that is for troops living here who want/need American news with a lot of soldiery public announcements thrown in.

Well they also get Rush every night, but the shows are pre-recorded. I had to wait 24 hours to hear Rush's lamentations. He breathed more heavily than usual, tapped his fingers incessantly, and went between loud incredulity to acerbic sarcasm. "People wanted this. This is what they chose. Four more years to get it right cuz Obama couldn't do it the first time. People want Santa Claus to give them all those handouts so they don't have to take care of themselves"

If I'd only had a brandy, it would have been perfect. Even my son who is 13 and has his own interests couldn't help but smile at Rush's whining.

Then there is Rove's post election "analysis":

"Romney had convinced voters he was a better leader and had a better vision than Obama."

"This thing," Rove said, "was won."

Ah, right, here is the link if you want it:

Roving

Last I hear, Rove is accusing the dems of vote suppression because they didn't want people to vote for Romney. Read 'em and chortle.

He was even angrier today. I checked in for about 15 minutes and he's still beside himself.

The stop Obama express etc stuff has been their mantra, they had a purpose the last 4 years. I'm curious to see where these shows go now and if they can keep an audience.

I remember he was saying it was going to take "days" to parse out how this travesty happened.

It's like if your car develops a shimmy in the front end and you think going faster will smooth it out. But eventually, a bolt shears off and you run off the road and into a bridge abutment at 90 mph.

Or the flame that burns hotter and hotter 'til it consumes all the oxygen in the air and just self-extinguishes.

Or like... ok, enough free metaphors for today. You want more? You gotta subscribe.

And to beat my dead horse on the gloating: Obama has now reached the 3 million lead mark over Romney. Mandate, anyone? Dems are calling Florida too, though even I think it's a bit early..

Nope, even Romney has conceded Florida. He won a whopping 1 swing state, which only became a swing state in the last election. I love this country.

If you want to have a laugh check out his website. He still doesn't get it, he's fighting all the obvious reasons Romney didn't win, plus being more racist than usual.

RUSH: At some point, we should do a Spanish translation of this program.

RUSH: Ratings were down, TV ratings on election night, over 2008. It's obviously because the networks are too white, too old, and too male.
