A year or two back, I predicted that the next president would have won a Pyrrhic victory.

They would fight their way to a victory in the election, no small feat, and their reward would be cleaning up the mind-boggling mess created by President Bush. Thanks, George!

At the time, I predicted there would be a Republican backlash and the next Prez would be a Democrat. The Dems would get blamed for "raising taxes" to pay off the $9T debt left by Bush and they would get blamed for "losing the war" in Iraq.

All of that is nonsense of course. SOMEONE has to be responsible sometime in our country. But as far as I can tell, the FOX News crowd is completely blind to their own mistakes and eager to blame someone else for them.

All of this would be predictable of course except for the recent twist. It now looks like the exact same thing will happen if the Republican candidate wins!

Poor John McCain. The guy just cannot get a break.

I thought he was great in 1999. If McCain had won in 2000, the world and our country would be a better place. But he did not win.

Instead he had to endure the Swift Boat people and then he had to suck up to GWB and the religious wing-nuts for 7 years when he clearly saw things going the wrong way. He did all this in order to be the next Republican presidential candidate and amazingly, it looks like he will be.

Except it also looks like the Right-wing media machine (those folks like Coulter and the drug-addicted Limbaugh who make their money entertaining the Republican "base") are going to bail on this election. They too see the disaster of Bush and are only too happy to blame it on the next guy.

If the next guy is McCain, so be it. They dont like him anyway.

If the next guy is a Democrat, all is good in the world.

If that Democrat is Hillary Clinton, we will see the world's largest simultaneous orgasm on election night.
