In Which I Give You CNN’s House Idiot, John King:

Campbell Brown: For those people who have been worried about the possibility of one party controlling Congress and the White House, the last president to do that, of course, was....?

John King: Ah, that was Bill Clinton, and...

Brown: Jimmy Carter! Jimmy Carter had... Bill Clinton had Democrats in the House and in the Senate?

King: Very briefly.

Brown: Very briefly. [Crinkles her nose] Didn't go so well.

King: No it didn't.

As Atrios notes, where in the hell did these people spend the last eight years?

McCain's supporters

It's a point to listen to them as McCain at least accepted his defeat with some decency, that they were booing and acting like jerks. It's a good thing he didn't have Palin speak, because she probably would have encouraged them, not only pounding the final nail in McCain's political coffin of shame, but encouraging them and their more unhinged elements to commit acts that the rest of the nation would consider unconscionable.

OH MY FUCKING GOD HE DID IT!!!!!!


I'm literally speechless, and in tears of happiness, that the Reagan Revolution is over, that the last eight years of Shrub and his grotesquely incompetent, morally repugnant administration are over, and that this man will now be our new, democratically and honestly elected President. We've seen history tonight, and I'm humbled to have been here to see it, and honored to have voted for Senator Obama. It's a bit like the moon landing, watching the election of the first black President of the United States of America. Such a great and necessary thing for the country and the world, as America has finally joined the 21st century. Yes, we did.
