The DUmbocRATS held a pity-party for Tommy. They are "deeply saddened", and reading about it warms the heart.

[RushCrush]

Consider the cockles of my heart warmed too.

The $ I sent to Thune was the best I ever spent.

"He doesn't know yet what to do with himself after 26 years in office." = "He has absolutely no discernable skills that would allow him to survive in the private sector. Somebody please give him a job as a lobbyist."

I hear now he's "deeply saddened". (Sorry, but I can't find the required photo of him in the chair, looking like the definition of despair.)

Who?

My joy at Tommy's loss was eclipsed only by the GWB win.

They go by the name: "obstructionist Democrats". Now looking for work.

..."I'm taking my time" in deciding, he said...

Take all the time you need, Tom, all the time you need. Ha!

"He doesn't know yet what to do with himself after 26 years in office."

Yeah. It's going to be tough actually having to WORK for a living now!

[1Old Pro]

Poor Tommy. He now has to pay to get his shoes shined now that all the boot lickers have dropped him.

And Max Cleland, whom party lore lionizes as the first Democratic senator to fall to Republican character assassination, in 2002, also delivered a poem that was hardly gracious. "This message to those who attack you," he warned; "you reap what you sow, so watch your back. We're still following the leader, and you can all go to hell."

Boy, it's talk like that that really makes you miss having old Max in the Senate. The misery and bitterness of these losers is music to my ears.

Linda Daschle, an airline industry lobbyist

Is this the first time the MSM has mentioned the fact that Daschle's wife is an airline lobbyist? I don't believe it was ever mentioned when Daschle was holding up changes to airline security following 9/11.

One consultant said to another, "I have a plan for rebranding ourselves in the South. I'll send you a position paper."

Rebranding? Hmm, just put it in a different package. Think up some new slogans. That'll work. Yep.

The mule has been hit several times with the 2x4 and still is not paying attention. Amazing.

Not many people get to attend their own wake.
