Yes, Liberals, Everything's Terrible!

By Sniffles

It's official: President Obama has nominated Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court, and the pundits and bloggers are all pronouncing judgment and behaving as if their opinions matter. We cats are particularly amused, in fact, that over at Salon, Glenn Greenwald is still doing his liberal loser killjoy schtick.

You know, once upon a time we were early subscribers to Salon, and even made it our home page. This year, we let our subscription lapse, and we don't miss it one bit.

Why? The constant hand-wringing that Barack Obama is not perfect. The short memories of how truly awful things were under George W. Bush. The lack of appreciation of how quickly things can become awful again.

Liberal losers, take note: It's a two-party system, and the Republican Party is being taken over by teabagger nutbags. In 2008 they nominated a right-wing wacko from Alaska to run for the White House with a 71-year-old cancer survivor. Since then, right-wing Republicans have crushed mainstream Democratic candidates for governor in Virginia (a purple state) and New Jersey (one of the bluest states in the nation). They took Ted Kennedy's Senate seat, they've chased Charlie Crist out of the party in Florida, and they've bumped off Bob Bennett in Utah. A party in which Bob Bennett is not conservative enough is a scary, scary place.

So, what do we think of the Kagan nomination? We think we will not agree with her on everything. But we're so thankful that it's Barack Obama who's choosing Supreme Court nominees — and not President Palin.
