Sweet, Sweet Republican Tears
by Zephyr on Jan.22, 2009, under Politics
As I was watching the Inauguration on Tuesday, I kept thinking to myself, "Wow, Obama is really bitchslapping Bush. Good. He deserves it.", but I wasn’t sure whether or not I was making a big deal out of it. Apparently not. Seems that the plane trip from Washington DC to Texas was full of crying GOPs.
Personally, I think they deserve it - and then some. You don’t do what you did to this country and then just get to walk away from it pretending like you actually accomplished something. While Bush, himself, seemed oblivious to the whole thing, his supporters are throwing fits.
Mr. McKinnon said there were good wishes for the new president and “an absence of malice one normally sees among the constituencies of the vanquished.” But he also said there were “some critical reviews of the speech, complaints about taking unnecessary shots and grousing about borrowed ideas.”
Right, so after attacking Obama at every step in the road during the candidacy, they now want a medal for not acting like the jerks they are during the transition. Umm… no?
Can these guys whine any harder? Oh wait, they can!
