The European Parliament says it best!

[Placebo]

In an extraordinary joint statement, more than 200 Socialist members of the European Parliament hailed the American election results as "the beginning of the end of a six-year nightmare for the world" and gloated that they left the Bush administration "seriously weakened."

1. I couldn't have said it better!

[nadinbrzezinski]

2. They got it right

but the nightmare is far from over. Folks the Consitutional crisis is over that hill... it's called signing statements

[JRob]

3. wow! nt

[Burma Jones]

4. That's about right

and I think a lot more folks than just the Socialists over in the Old Country are thinking the same thing.......

5. Do I recall some thing that Churchill wrote and said this----

That in the long run the Am. voters always end up doing the right thing? It sticks in my mind. Now we are down to Rice on Bush's back and his father and Baker running things. I see getting her ready to take over and running in 2008 and I am not sure why I think this way. What nuts were voted in in 2000. I sure hope the Dem. can find some NEW thinking Dem. to run.

8. After exhausting all the alternatives...

I think that's the rest of the quotation.

13. It may be but it stuck in my mind as odd when I read it.

Is there a study on this also? Seems to me there is and it is about a set number will get it right if you take the ave. or some such thing. I am not so such I get all that stuff or if I really believe it. Hard to ave. people. Heck hardly half the people even vote. Does that mean we ave. half and count or what? I do think we should get better Govt. if we get into the middle of the group than if we take all these crazy edges on how we think. If they are good plans grab them but Frankly I can not under stand why I am willing to let the far right do as they wish but they are always trying to tell me I have to do as they wish. It drives me NUTS.

11. Actually...

I believe Churchill said "Americans always do the right thing, but only after having exhausted all the alternatives."

6. They counted on America to be passive...

They counted wrong.

7. Global Giddiness

Regardless of the effect on world events, global giddiness that Bush was finally handed a political black-eye was almost palpable throughout Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

I like the sound of that.

9. Old Europe is alot smarter than Bush

12. OMG, I'd bet Gore Vidal is animated over this brilliant statement ...

"the beginning of the end of a six-year nightmare for the world"

[Robeson]

14. As well he should....
