Five Years Ago

Today is the fifth anniversary of Bush v. Gore. So take a minute to reflect on the amazing popularity, among Republicans, of V.P. nominee Joseph Loserman, er, Lieberman. Five years is an eternity in politics. I mean, five years ago my Republican friends were against nation-building. Now they have no problems with writing blank checks for nation-building. Five years ago, Bush was going to restore honor and integrity to the Oval Office. Five years is . . . more than an eternity in politics, if that's possible.
