Well, the Democrats lost Ted Kennedy's seat tonight. And I am thoroughly pissed with them.
Over the past year -- after electing the first Black president in America's history -- liberal democrats in the United States have managed to trash everything by descending into factious, stupid, hissy-faced bickering. They have failed to support Obama, even though they knew how difficult his road would be. They have failed to honour the hopes of ordinary Americans. They have abjectly failed to understand the responsibility thrust upon them by this great moment in history.
They have revealed themselves as juvenile, spoiled, superficial and unworthy.
The fact that they have done this in the echo of Martin Luther King Jr's special day is especially galling.
At this sad and confusing moment, I think Americans are beyond hope. They are beyond shame.
I am so disappointed by them.
