It's a movement. It's a phenomenon. It's a Web site. Or maybe it's far more than that. No one can really be sure. No matter what it is, it's called sorryeverybody.com and it expresses, better than any outpouring so far, a sentiment that's omnipresent and palpable and still going strong, and every single Democrat and every single Kerry supporter and every single liberal of any stripe whatsoever probably felt it like a white-hot stab in the heart the minute Kerry's concession speech hit the airwaves and it undoubtedly went something like this:
Dear world: We are so very, very sorry. For Bush. For our bitterly divided and confused nation. For what's to come. Please know that tens of millions of us did not vote for him. Please do not hate us. Not all of us, anyway. OK, maybe Utah. Do you know where Utah is? Never mind.
See, not only is half of America still deeply dejected about the onslaught of Dubya Dubya II, but much of that half wants the world to know just how crestfallen we are, and just how awful we feel for inflicting Bush and his middle-finger foreign policy on them like a virus, a toxin, a nasty STD, yet again.
After all, we knew this wasn't no ordinary election. We knew how much was at stake, how this one represented a sea change in global attitudes, a dramatic upheaval and reversal of long-standing American ideas of cooperation and defense and restraint, ideas that BushCo has now mutated into a hollow, kill-'em-all faux-cowboy maverick attitude, an almost irreversible shift, mostly backward. Or downward.
But here's the genius part. Beyond e-mail, beyond blogs or radio shows or despondent letters to the editor or overly verbose progressively insulated Left Coast columnists

Its not divided and its not confused.
I see Marky's still in mourning. Another case of PEST on the Left Coast.
I'm sorry about that too Morford, esp. during the summer. Have any waxing tips? I know you do!
Liberals are divided and confused. The rest of us are marching, heads held high, with confidence into the future.
Hey, Mark. The president's pardoning a turkey right now. But no, it isn't you. I hear you're more into chicken.
They're going bananas... I mean really.
Is there any way we can start the website:
www.yourewelcomeeverybody.com??
Just a thought.
I hate whiners! Stand up and fight like a man, (oh yeah--- nevermind).
They are a damned sorry lot alright!
Dear Morford.... I hope every day of the next four years passes slowly. Interminably slowly. Like someone was drilling into a nerve without novacaine. And may each day be hell for you. May you suffer, and whine, and be overwhlmed with misery. And We shall revel in it.
I'm sure the author is well versed in "nasty STDs".
This is the "Global Test" in action.
Enough said.
That's a good idea!
Shouldn't he be in some kind of re-education camp for homosexuals? Didn't the hysterical left say that would happen after Bush won?
I do believe our president has just been scratched by another ballerina. What will the Islamofacists do when they find out that they are allied with gays?
The site proves that countless Americans still not only care enough to apologize for our country's massive errors of judgment, for our blind mistakes, but also are concerned about the effect those mistakes will have on others. As such, these pictures are perhaps the finest and most honest expressions of love for one's country you can find. And if that's not patriotic, nothing is.
So let me get this straight Markie:
Apologizing for being American=patriotism
BUT
Performing your civic duty of voting (albeit NOT for Markie's dreamboat).=Evil Neocon Nazi Bush supporter.
Is that right?
I wonder if the rest of America looks like that... don't think so.
So, does that mean it was an ordinary election?
