#3 Maybe future historians will view this election as the turning point --- the Stalingrad of the New Left.

#6 "Celebrity testimonials may help [sell] erectile-dysfunction products," Marty Kaplan, communications professor at the University of South Carolina, told Agence France-Presse, "but in politics, theyâre mainly eye candy for the media."

Damn, you should have posted a coffee/drink alert before that line! ;)

#7 I think Hollywood is starting to realize where that chill wind is really coming from and it's not Washington DC.

Give Ben Affleck a break, he was the source of one of the funniest songs in Team America.

#9 I have already decided not to see movies featuring these people. It is hard since it appears this leftist mentality is permeating the whole industry but I will be judicious in what I see. I haven't fogtten these people. They are "seared" in my memory now.

#10 Wow, is that the same David Remnick that wrote the book on post-Soviet Russia? What pushed him into a pro-Kerry mindset?

#11 "Ben Affleck," the Hollywood journalist said, " has more career problems at the moment than his political beliefs".

I expect the rest of these dipshits will be experiencing this very soon.

#12 Please remember though that my Detroit brothers Kid Rock and Uncle Ted Nugent both supported the President. Eminem is funny but should stick to gross out rap, he's no political intellectual genius obviously.

#14 Amen Jarhead. Nugent: defender of gun rights, consumer of animals, we thank you. And a big thanks to Kid Rock for goin out an rockin' live for the troops.

#15 Wow... we'll have to call in for a whole fleet of "w-ambulances"!

#16 That's right Sgt.Mom, and now that John Edwards no longer has a senate seat we should allow him to return to his former profession as soon as possible.

#18 My brother in law grew up with Affleck. He didn't like him.
He laughs a lot these days.

#19 And here's proof of the severe effect of the election loss on Affleck... Looks like he took it kinda hard, heh.

"Makeup!"

#20 DeNiro? I thought he had made some comments very supportive of the WoT and OIF. Maybe I just find it impossible to believe that he would be an LLL crazy.

#25 My LLL brother and his wife just called to invite me for Thanksgiving dinner with some academic-type friends of theirs. Boy, am I going to enjoy this...

#26 Dave, don't gloat too much & please tell them most of us (70%+) in the active military are glad Kerry lost. Mostly because his wife has bigger gonads then he does but also because we'd rather have a staunch leader not some foppish dandie.
