"Let the healing begin"

First off somehow Leno was actually funny during his banter with his Bush imitator. I usually turn the channel immediately at the sight of his unfunny ass. I will just say that the whole exchange was not shitty (Conan probably wrote it as a thank you for quitting five years). JL :"Anything surprise you about the election?" G-Dub: "Yeah, I was surprised to see that Illinois elected Osama Bin Laden" Leno: "Um...sir, that was Barack Obama" G-Dub: (frantically looking side to side) " Hey...Hey...Call it off. Call it off."

I figured that I would post the following transcript from a piece that I saw on 60 Minutes Wednesday. I just kinda got up in the idea of it all and it is truly good stuff, regardless "Red" or "Blue".

(CBS) This week's commentary is by 60 Minutes Wednesday columnist Steve Hartman.


I don’t know about you, but I had a really long night last night. I was in my office watching the returns come in: waiting and flipping, flipping and waiting for that decisive moment. But by 1 a.m., the only thing that had hit 270 was my cholesterol. Scarier still was the map. Four years and almost nothing had changed. The country was still bitterly divided along pretty much the exact same lines. So the way I see it, we now face a choice. We can once again half-heartedly feign coming together, but not really mean it, or we can end the partisan bickering once and for all. That’s right, I’m talking two nations – under God – divisible – the United Red States of America and the United Blue States of America. Let’s face it, we had a nice 200-year run, but we’re just not compatible anymore. So let’s wish each other well and divide up the stuff. Reds, you get NASCAR. Blues, you get wind surfing. Blues also get Bruce Springsteen, while reds get every country song ever written. Fortunately, except for a few states out West, we’ve divided ourselves into this convenient, contiguous pattern. Of course some states, like Ohio, will have to be split east/west. Columbus will be our Berlin – with a cement wall right down the center. Democrats can build it, or Republicans can outsource the job to China, just as long as it’s big enough to keep Howard Stern on one side and Bill O’Reilly on the other. Also, if we each get our own idyllic society, blue states could have gay marriage, and red states could have the Ten Commandments embroidered onto every judge’s robes. Blues could keep the first amendment and get rid of the second. Reds could keep the second and get rid of the first. But best of all, by dividing America in two, we could all see how great it is as one. Maybe then we could appreciate our differences and learn the art of something called compromise. Or maybe we could try and do that now, and save us all the trouble of getting new stamps.

so you won...

I just wanted to officially declare the bandwagon full as I am the last one on. Bosox, Pats, G-Dub, and me...all winners. So there you have it, ball-suckin' liberals.
I look forward to four years of your witty retorts and that charming smile. I look forward to your totally hot daughter Jenna being on TV more as she teaches those inner city criminals in the making how to read and hopefully less coverage of the other one. I look forward to seeing all of Cheney's completely badass self( I mean, dude, the shackles are off). I look forward to seeing just how christian crusade-esque we get up on the muslims (fuck them, fuckers...They should've picked Jesus 'cuz he is a winner). I look forward to you telling me what god told you last night in a dream and then you telling me how you and JC are so BFF. I look forward to Cheney's lesbian daughter getting on with Portia DeRossi or some other hot lesbian b/c she is so famous now. I look forward to Laura being all demure and hopefully enabling all women to understand that they are important for sex and listening but not opinions. I look forward to having Social Security coming out of my check as I obviously I am not using it. I look forward to Karl Rove being named to People Magazine's 50 most beautiful list as his genius will finally be appreciated. I look forward to you totally sticking it to the liberal faggots even tho you actually didn't mention any new plans for the next 4 years (-Note to Rove, Get on that-).
I just wanted to say thanks for forgiving me for doubting you as obviously "you da man". I just hope you find some cool stuff to help Rush out b/c um...you guys won, like big.
