  @readerreader: you represent the dying, mad Republicans so well.

  Mrs. Palin exposed herself to the entire world as wilfully ignorant and hostile. Only a madman would think that a lifetime of mental laziness could be reversed - particularly when the very reason that her fans like her is this ignorance and hostility.

  As for "people who wanted Mr. Obama to win did not want to hear anything so unpleasant as friendships with bombers" - get a grip on yourself!

  I assume you're talking about Mr. Ayers. Who are the other "bombers"? Don't have any other names?

  Mr. Obama sat in the living room of Mr. Ayers - as Obama did with tens of thousands of other people trying to win the Presidency. These is every bit of evidence that they are basically total strangers that happened to be in the same place at the same time. This is one of the most investigated associations of my lifetime - and nothing was there. If you have the information, give it to us now. Otherwise, shut up - we've heard this a thousand times, there's nothing there.

  And Mr. Ayers did... what? Some property damage forty years ago to protest an unjust war that killed two *million* Vietnamese who did *nothing* to hurt us? The Bush administration started a phoney war that killed hundreds of thousands and created death camps, for God's sake!

  There has to be something wrong in your head to be obsessed with this insignificant connection between Mr. Obama and a minor political figure who never hurt anyone.

  Palin, Ayers - no one else cared except a few loonies like you. Grow up, already!

  I'd pity you, because the next four years are going to be pretty hard on you - but your team caused this, made this happen, reviled us when we tried to point out the problems, behaved (and continue to behave, as per your letter) like spoiled children. But a lot of other people are going to suffer, so I'll be very glad that at least in your case it's justified.

  (Not that I think Mr. Obama is any great shakes as a progressive. Sigh.)
