Miss that delicious election schadenfreude?

Can't remember how I came upon this yesterday -- I think it was a link in my Twitter feed -- but man oh man is it delicious. It's the election night live-blogging from Kevin DuJan's Hillbuzz, and both the blog and the comments had me laughing out loud -- and, in the words of Homer Simpson, "I'm not laughing with you, I'm laughing at you." Anyway, if you miss you fix of watching conservatives melt down when their bubble pops, by all means check it out. I don't want to spoil too much of the fun, but here are some previews of what awaits you:

From the blog:

400pm CST — Chris Matthews’ Hardball is starting soon. Everything before this was just the warmup. I have been waiting for four years to see Matthews meltdown when Obama loses.

547pm CST — this is nonscientific, but every Democrat out there speaking tonight looks like they are going to throw up too.

744pm CST — Folks, I know you are stressed out, but my home town of Cleveland has got this for us. Cleveland will not let you down…it will not give the Democrats the votes they need to win the state and Romney will take Ohio and the presidency.


From the comments

Wow…I cannot believe this. I cannot stop crying. Please tell me this is a very bad dream.

I feel I watched another election unfold from what I was reading on here. What the heck happened? Nothing came out right. I can’t even begin to think about this country for the next 4 years under this regime.

During the last presidential debate I became very frightened by Romneys behavior. He look like someone had gotten to him like perhaps the Bilderbergs who may have told him, look, you have been used. You are not going to win so don’t make our guy look bad. It was like Romney was agreeing with all of Obama’s foreign policiy decisions and had no issue with Benghazi and Spring Time for Hitler and the Muslim Brotherhood. I also believe that the Bushes set Romney up for defeat. H. Bush lost re-election because he was not a true conservative. They new if Romney was the nominee he would lose to Obama and their son Jeb could run in 2016. The Bushes are evil progressievs and are the reason we have a Barak Hussein Obama for president. They are global elitist, progressives and destroyed the party from within just like Communists and Free Masons corrupted the Catholic church from within. Sarah Palin is right. The republcan party will go the way of the Wiggs if they don’t find the courage of their convictions.



Come, be warmed all over again this season by the shameful joy of watching teabagger heads explode. You know you want to: http://hillbuzz.org/1018pm-cst-barack-obama-declared-the-winner-by-fox-news-2012-official-election-results-watch-thread-73447

ETA: It's like it was written by a four-year-old, esp. with the fixation on bodily functions.

Even if I agree that:

"The republcan party will go the way of the Wiggs if they don’t find the courage of their convictions."
The Republican Party will go the way of the Wiggs if they don't find the courage of their convictions.

In the sense that they have to stand for the middle class again, actual conservation, rather than just sticking it up to everyone else saying they are on their own.

A lot of them have lost sight of their virtues. Mostly since it has been corrupted by their leaders and opportunists who are just plain greedy.

you know it's going to be funny. I could almost visualize the tinfoil encapsulating the head of the dude in the comments you posted.

3:00 am the discussion was whether the votes were still too close to call, they should insist on Obama proving his citizenship, or impeach him over Benghazi. But, they were all going to either emigrate or buy more ammunition.

There's a part of me that can relate because that is how I felt 8 years ago. I just could not understand how the majority of Americans could be so dumb.

Obviously, the similarities end there.
