    @raise up

    Always good to see one of your posts. You make erudition fun.

    Fox, who knows? If you believe most of these network pundits are driven as much by the parlor game aspect as by their true convictions, they might actually enjoy the freedom of having to defend another four years of Bush -- that is, they get to rabble-rouse from the position of the dispossessed and gripe about "that one" and a godless society intent on turning their children into homosexuals or urban thugs. Conversely, it will be interesting to see what Olbermann's show looks like in four or five months. No Bush, no Cheney, no McCain, no Palin, etc. There goes half of his show. Who's the stand-in target for his "How dare you, sir" commentaries? Mitch McConnell?

    Oh well. A good problem to have.
