From a reader:

Instead of Democrat corks popping today, we have Corner corks popping. I hear them from here. Of course, your corks have been close to popping for some weeks now, and some explosion of some sort was bound to occur.
I’m dismayed: in the course of this victory, you’ve raised an unseemly noise among conservatives, and now you’re patting yourselves on the back, and Bush on the head, and letting him–and all us ignoramuses who support him–know that everything will be okay. Because you’re happy, I guess.
A most unseemly business. Not just a kerfuffle. Ugly and unnecessary. But I can’t just be glad it’s over. Sorry it ever happened. With friends like the Corner, who needs to be President?
Now–onward and upward: find the right idealogue, then dare to cry “Foul!” when some Democrat demands litmus tests.
