With confirmation of Judge Samuel Alito as the next Supreme Court justice all but assured, Democrats seized upon this "most recent failure of the Bush administration" as a likely springboard for their party' s electoral triumph in November.
This latest setback for President George Bush - coming on the heels of free and fair elections in Iraq, a growing economy, the first December budget surplus since 2002 and movement by Europe and Russia toward the original White House position on dealing with Iran's nuclear ambitions - sets the stage for a Democrat return to power in Congress this year, according to many leading party insiders.
"We've got him on the ropes," said one unnamed Democrat political strategist. "Alito's confirmation could be the knockout punch. When Bush is flat on his back like this, it's hard for Republican Congressional candidates to ride his coattails."
A celebratory mood prevails from Democrat offices on Capitol Hill, to DNC headquarters, to MoveOn.org and The New York Times. Several political action groups said they would immediately launch multi-million dollar TV ad campaigns to capitalize on their political momentum.
"It's the triumph of our progressive principles and ideals," the source said. "We've got a beautiful feeling, everything's going our way."

They just keep stepping in it, don't they?
I often wonder how in the world did Teddy ever even get a license to practice law?

The answer to today's Jeopardy Question: 7
The question: How many posts before someone takes a satire post seriously?
Scrappleface actually does it better than anyone -- even The Onion. Their headlines are so close to reality it is easy to get sucked in.
Yes, the Fairness Doctrine means a return to the Dark Ages. If ever the Dems regain control of Congress and the White House, here comes the night.

Oh, for crying out loud, the guy that writes this stuff is very funny.
More like "wallowing" in it.
The more they squeal, the more mud they think they need to sling.
Careful now, the moonbats at DU will be so ecstatic reading this article that they won't realize it's satire and may overload and blow out the DU website with their tacky-whacky woo-hooing and hi-fiving each other.
Rush Limbaugh has said that great satire usually has some element of truth in it. It wouldn't surprise me if the looney left IS reacting the way it's being portrayed in this Scrappleface article.
Reminds me of the joke where the Irish guy gets repeatedly stomped to a pulp in a bar fight and when he finally just can't even get up off the floor, he looks up at his @ss-kicker and says "Aye and ye've had enough, then?".
Nor would it surprise me. In fact, I think I'll slip in the back door over at DU and see if the ant farm denizens have picked up on the spoof article.
Someone alert Ted Kennedy.
Alert Ted Kennedy = oxymoron (& removing alert removes oxy)
LOL... I think that was me! ; )
LOL!
You got it right.
