Bye Bye Joe Walsh. Bye Bye Allen West.

And for you Mz Bachmann.... you have two years left because getting you out of office is the goal of...well, everybody here, eh DU?

But for now I'll throw a little party in celebration of Walsh and West.

Except for Bachman and Cantor, ALL the tea baggers went down in defeat in both the Senate and the House.

my joy this morning is tempered a bit by the Bachman win. If there's a plus side, she won by a razor thin margin where in the past she won decisively, perhaps indicating that at least some Minnesotans have caught on to her special brand of nuttery.

I only wish I lived in her district and could have voted against her. Maybe I'll need to move in the next two years.

She knows she's done in two years. She'll probably try for Franken's senate seat and get blown out of the water.

.....is being embarrassed by their elected officials. Sure, there are regrettable exceptions---Bachmann being a prime example---but one of the primary points of this election is the punishment of outlandish political behavior. Thank you, Lord......
