To paraphrase the Klingon proverb, "Schadenfreude is a dish best served cold. ".As evidence, here's a random quote from a Dedicated User of another online discission forum that shall remain nameless:

I need a drink and a political party with some balls. F--- it!! I give up, We lost it all. I know it's soon but the repugs have not lost one Senate seat and already took the house. Let them run the country for an eternity or at least until the American people can't stand the pain any longer, America deserves what it gets. I'm moving to Canada, F--- this neo-fascist country.

As far as a political party with a back bone , The DNC has blown it and blown it "Big time" . I give up!! Where do I turn for some representation? Maybe Independent? Who cares, Im moving to Canada."

Hee hee hee. And the night is still young...

Post your own special Schadenfreude moments here.

BWAHAHAHAHA!!!...oops

Sorry, I meant to say, I feel the Dem's pain.

NOT!!!

[InvisibleChurch]

i just want these guys to be crushed politically, i want my America back

[Brett66]

A few highlights from tonight:

Daschle is now minority leader again,don't have to wait until January.

Carville putting his head in a trashcan on CNN. (Where it belongs)

Mondull, a relic from the failed Carter administration, is finally done in politics for good.

[Migraine]

I generally do not wish pain on anyone; but for sore loser De Muck Rats, I make an exception. Happy days are here again!

[JenB]

Can I just say, this is a moment I will treasure forever. I'm only 19, I'm a college student and it's often discouraging to think that the American people will elect Dems. But tonight... oh, I think I understand what 94 was all about now.

I'll remember how this feels. I'll be working twice as hard next time. God Bless America!

[SpinyNorman]

Who cares, Im moving to Canada."

Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out, eh? (I am laughing so hard I am crying!!!)

[BradyLS]

I wish I could post a pic' of ol' Bubba biting his lip, with his most hang-dog look going right to the camera, and saying: "Ah feel yor pain... And ya might wanna put some ice on that."

Another Demented Unemployable waxes poetic about the fate that awaits America now that the GOP is in charge:

When our nation suffers for its unwise choices today, I will smile and simply say, "I told you so."

I want them to induce massive poverty.
I want them to allow corporate corruption.
I want them to usher-in a stock market crash of never-before seen proportions.
I want bread lines. No, better yet, I want no bread lines.
I want them to to take away the rights of workers to organize.
I want them to shackle women to operating tables and force them to give birth.
I want them to rape social security.

Let's have smog-filled air that doesn't life when we heat up in late morning.
Let's see how high we can get the oceans to rise.
Let's shakedown the elderly and have them eat cat food.
Let's ban Harry Potter from schools and libraries.
Let's cut funding for the arts and for children.
Let's create a million new terrorists.
Let's jail non-Christians.

And finally, when the bloody chunk of what's left of our nation crawls into the voting booth in 2004 (if the booth hasn't been napalmed), I hope we'll have learned our lesson. Americans do deserve what they will get. Today, I am ashamed of my country for her citizens' stupidity and greed.

Ouch! Now tell us how you really feel, "tedoll78".

[Yankee]

Oooh, I bet it hurts.

Put some ice on it you socialist bastards.

[Dec31,1999]

I think this thead is about to be history, but I wish it weren't. I'd like to read the responses. Ah, sweet victory.

[jude24]

This has made it all worth it -- seeing Carville melt down.

[B-Chan]

A deep-dish serving of Schadenfreude Surprise sends James "Serpent Head" Carville scurrying to the scuzzbucket live on tonight's TV. Eat hearty, Jim-lad! Eat hearty!

The DU'ers are split about 50/50. Half are moving to Canada. The other half are gonna stay to fight the next civil war, which they claim starts next Tuesday or shortly thereafter.

They are currently asking around to see if any of their posters actually OWN any guns to contribute to the war effort.

OK, i actually made up that last part about the guns.

As far as a political party with a back bone , The DNC has blown it and blown it "Big time" . I give up!! Where do I turn for some representation? Maybe Independent? Who cares, Im moving to Canada.

Woah, woah, woah, WOAH!!! Hey! Why's a loving, caring, nurting, culturally-sensitive, social-justice-oriented, Big-Brother-loving, tax-and-spend wastrel like YOU running to all thos ewhite-n-uptight types up NORTH???

No, no, no, NO!!! Y'all need need to join your comrades and fellow travelers in the great People's Utopia of your choice! Mexico, Cuba, or Haiti!

tedoll78 is about a demented POS isn't he? What will actually happen - unlike his predictions - is that America will begin healing now from the 8 long years of the Rats running the show. America's political system will begin to return to the form of a Constitutional Republic rather than a Soviet style state. Gotta love it.

Hopefully tedoll78 will be found hanging from a lightpole tomorrow.

Don't ever forget it. When I was in college we had just elected Ronald Reagan. I didn't know how good I had it back then, until the Nightmare That Was Clinton came along.

You seem to be a bit more aware than I was at your age. Good for you.

[11B3]

"No, no, no, NO!!! Y'all need need to join your comrades and fellow travelers in the great People's Utopia of your choice! Mexico, Cuba, or Haiti!"

Personally, I'd like to see them go somewhere else - South Africa would be nice for them. Or Zim. Sudan? Brazil? Venezuela? Heck, the list of garden spots that are looking for folks like them is longer than I thought.

[B-Chan]

Hopefully tedoll78 will be found hanging from a lightpole tomorrow.

Now wait. That's going too far. While it's perfectly okay to enjoy seeing one's political opponents humbled at the ballot box, wishing them harm or injury goes way over the line. For my part, I wish only the best for tedoll78, and I hope all of us here can agree that, politically speaking, our enemies are ideas, not people.

And Lautenberg and Jeffords are irrelevant. New Joisy elected a senile, screechy stumblebum with a 'tude, a feckless fart has-been who won't do them a bit of good, who will wield no power, who might not even survive creeping dementia to see the end of his useless, irrelevant term.

And Jeffords has nowhere to go. No power, no friends, no influence. Just cold rain and gray skies in the morning.
