Hopefully, we'll be hearing something like this:

"Some thoughts on those angry voters. Ask parents of any two-year-old and they can tell you about those temper tantrums: the stomping feet, the rolling eyes, the screaming. It's clear that the anger controls the child and not the other way around. It's the job of the parent to teach the child to control the anger and channel it in a positive way. Imagine a nation full of uncontrolled two-year-old rage. The voters had a temper tantrum last week....Parenting and governing don't have to be dirty words: the nation can't be run by an angry two-year-old." -- ABC World News Tonight anchor Peter Jennings in his daily ABC Radio commentary, November 14, 1994.

What jerk he was with that, and it still amazes me how he basically cast democrats and big government in the role of parents that failed to properly instruct and train us dumb voters and yet he was still able to cast himself as objective. Unreal. He was int he midst of his own erudite and well spoken temper tantrum about his team losing yet he was the one with no dog in the fight.

Two year olds don't express their dissatisfaction quietly and with civility by casting a ballot, they express their dissatisfaction loudly and violently. Mr. Jennings, you haven't seen us loud and violent. Not yet, anyway.
