31. Welcome to DU, mudy waters!

Glad you're here! Very festive night, isn't it! I'm so happy to see his smug mug on the losing end for a change. He really was alienating! His whole cocky, arrogant demeanor just was SO off-putting! How anyone got anything done with him, without winding up nursing some sort of bruised feelings or grudges. I'll bet people "worked with" him begrudgingly because he had that hotshot position in Congress. Majority Leader in the House. The presumed heir to boner's seat in the Speakership. And buh-BYE. Just like that.

Really rather stunning.

I hope the national dems will get behind the dem candidate in Cantor's district book_worm Jun 2014 #1
