Gloat Among Yourselves

James Wolcott, who back in September wrote in praise of natural disaster and human misery, is not a happy bunny. November 2:
No, seems to me the only way Bush can win tomorrow is how he won last time, by losing the popular vote and squeezing out a win in the Electoral College, assisted by a compliant media and enough high-profile Democrats willing to roll over for "the good of the country."

Any Democrat who tries that this year should keep rolling until he winds up in the gutter next to Zell Miller, who's been teaching himself how to play the zither.

Followed by this charmer:
I am preparing myself for either outcome today. Should Kerry win, I will post an important statement called "A Time for Healing," or something equally noble-sounding. Should Bush win, I shall post a statement of philosophical resignation tentatively titled "Good, Go Ahead, America, Choke on Your Own Vomit, You Deserve to Die." The latter will probably require a little more tweaking.
Today, instead, we have this:
The election was a victory for George Bush and Rovianism, a victory for Grover Norquist. It was also a victory for Osama Bin Laden. I don't believe for a moment Bin Laden was trying to sway voters to Kerry with his taped address. This was the outcome he wanted, a gift from us to him: an unapologetic Christian Crusader in the White House whose reelection giving lie to the notion that Abu Ghraib was an aberration and that the deaths of thousands of Iraqi civilians weigh upon America's conscience. This morning America could not look more like a grinning aggressor to the Arab world, an aggressor with fresh marching orders.
