Post-Election Wingnut Roundup

We know that John McCain lost because he was a shorter, angrier version of George W. Bush.  The wingnuts, however, have other ideas:

Ace of Spades - we lost because McCain wouldn’t let Sarah Palin drill in ANWR.

American Thinker - we lost because we nominated a Reagan Democrat.

Macsmind - we lost because McCain neglected to emphasize the fundamental tenets of the GOP: fags, flags, and four more wars.

Michelle Malkin - we lost because McCain failed to express sufficient hatred for illegal immigrants and anchor babies such as myself.

NRO (Byron York) - we lost because we needed a bigger boat.

NRO (Pantload) - as usual I have nothing useful to add, but I wish to point out that our tax system is more progressive than Sweden’s if you ignore what people actually pay.

NRO (K-Lo) - as usual I have nothing useful to add, but I shall express my fervent hope that John Bolton is the Republican that Obama promised in the cabinet.

Tom Brokaw (yes, he’s flipped) - McCain lost because his voters take up a significant portion of the nation’s square footage.

Townhall (Pantload) - we lost because John McCain failed to redistribute sufficient wealth to Joe the Plumber.

Townhall (Tony Blankley) - we lost because McCain ignored conservative principles - it had nothing to do with the GOP’s two unpopular wars, manifest corruption and managerial incompetence, a collapsed housing market that resulted in a 20-50 percent crash in the home values for most Americans, and a financial crisis that threatens world prosperity and has reduced the value of the average American’s stock portfolio by about 40 percent. Nothing.

Townhall (Wynton Hall) - we lost because nobody remembers the wonderful things unbridled capitalism brings, like breadlines, Hoovervilles, disease, and death … ah, the good old days.

Freude,

Whatever you do, with all your strength, do NOT go read Michael Ledeen's PJ Media column.

I used to begrudgingly respect Tony Blankely, when I saw him on the McLaughlin Group or heard him on Left, Right and Center.

But, since 2006, he has separated from reality. He has truly become lesser than the sum of his talking points.

He is no longer merely a conservative with whom I disagree. He is now a conservative who consistently tries to convince me that the rain I feel on my back is not really there.

In short, he's a douche.

Sarah thinks they lost because Africa is incontinent.

Palin thinks they lost because Africa is incontinent.

You're a better man than I if you have the stomach to read this bile...
