BO and his staff must have some dirt on some of the people that “supported him” [ontherocks, 7:41 pm]

As Rush Limbaugh said today, 57 million said “no” to Obama, and 10 million white did NOT vote as compared to 2004. That means 67 million people did not choose Obama. WE are the majority! [Ex-DemInVA, 7:45 pm]

We are on the path way to hell….as I told my mom through tears last night. I was scared that us PUMA’S might be put into concentration camps or things like the sort. I remember telling my best friend: How do you think we’ll die there….? [MakowashiNatsuko, 7:51 pm]

Sarah Palin had to be told Africa was a continent, not a country. Need we say more?

Actually, yes. Lower-left corner: Fox News. Upper-left corner: Live. Not shown: Massive fainting.

And by the way, Rupert Murdoch’s empire lost twenty percent of its value today. Technically unrelated, but still.

So, about that Talibunny Couture Kerfluffle — it may have been even worse than reported. At least while Psychogeezer’s lieutenants have something to say off the record about it.

The instructions for Sarah Palin were to “buy three suits for the convention and hire a stylist”. But like the adorable maverick she is, Palin didn’t purchase the clothes they wanted her to buy, but went straight to Nieman and Saks and let them know her credit line:

One aide estimated that she spent “tens of thousands” more than the reported $150,000, and that $20,000 to $40,000 went to buy clothes for her husband. Some articles of clothing have apparently been lost. An angry aide characterized the shopping spree as “Wasilla hillbillies looting Neiman Marcus from coast to coast,” and said the truth will eventually come out when the Republican Party audits its books.

Fun factoid: The story came out within six hours of McCain’s concession speech. We’ve been expecting the Long Knives, but this amounts to swashbuckling.

The other side took the fight to us, and we never took the fight to the other side, except coyly and obliquely. That’s not a mistake we should make the next time. “Honorable campaigns” are for losers. [Kathryn Jean Lopez, 10:09 p.m.]

What freaks me out about this election is how oblivious to facts people have been. Everything about Obama’s judgment and radicalism — whether Sean Hannity or Stanley Kurtz or Andy McCarthy etc. is telling you about it — was essentially deemed irrelevant (including largely by the McCain campaign, save for Palin eventually talking about Ayers). [Kathryn Jean Lopez, 10:38 p.m.]

It is of course a great thing that we are (it seems pretty certain) electing a black President. It’s just a crying shame it had to be this shallow, empty man, who has never shown a flicker of interest in wealth creation, whose head is stuffed with all the vapid nostrums of 1980s student leftism, and who seems — putting the most charitable construction on it — not to mind the brazenly thuggish tactics of his supporters.

This thing working? Yes? Good. And don’t click on Florida too much, or you’ll go blind.

So here we are: The Greatest Night in American History. Maybe. We’ll post any notable developments up here, but otherwise the party’s in the comments. Remember to drink every time Tim Russert gets mentioned on MSNBC.

Today’s theme: Americana, insufferably long lines, happy drunken people.
