We may indeed be guilty of "sour grapes" from time to time, but certainly not over the election. We don't recall any Democratic supporters suggesting that the Presidency is probably "sour." And for the record, we are not "still pissed about the election," as you so elegantly put it. We were "pissed" about a number of Government policies long before the election. That same Government (only moreso) continues to provide us with lots of things to be pissed about. This comment is written early on the Martin Luther King holiday, and yes-- we're still pissed about that too.

What the hell are you talking about. Last I heard nobody elected Rummy. And what's with the "sour grapes" comment, which I am sick of hearing sleazy gloating Bushies who seem to think that now the election is over, all the issues have been decided. Probably you think Bush has some kind of a "mandate" well you need to re-read Aesop when you are done with the dictionary. The election may be over but the issues are still issues. It's not ok to torture people. it's not ok to pay journalists to spread propaganda. It's not ok to loot another country that you have invaded. It is most certainly not ok to steal souvenirs from the bodies of fallen soldiers, no matter what side they are on. Period. Huh? What the hell are you talking about.
