Rejoice, Rejoice, we have no choice

So my final (and my next to final) predictions were slightly off, as it looks like the Democrats will pick up about 27 seats in the House, and if Jon Tester and Jim Webb hold their leads in Montana and Virginia respectively, they'll win the Senate, too, elevating Harry "I'll choke you the eff out" Reid to Majority Leader and officially marking the beginning of Bush: The Lame Duck Years, not to be confused with Bush: The Obfuscating Years, Bush: The Cocaine Years, Bush: The Asshole Years, Bush: The Business Failure Years, Bush: The Questioning War Veterans' Patriotism Years, Bush: The Alcoholic Years, Bush: The Yale Cheerleader Years, Bush: The Stolen Election Years (Parts 1 and 2), Bush: The Scorched Earth Years, or Bush: The Record Deficit Years.

Highlights (With more to come later in the week after my head starts spinning):

- Slimmed down Representative and Planet of the Apes extra JD Hayworth losing in Arizona. This is so sweet because of his constant appearances on Hannity & Colmes and also because he looks like a monkey.

- Rick Santorum losing his Senate seat (by 18 points!!!!) to a guy who may or not have a pulse. Then he and his 15 kids gave a very sad concession speech where for a moment I almost thought he was a human. But then that went away.

- Both New Hampshire Congressman, Bass and Bradley, losing to a children's musician (Hodes) and a woman who raised about $50 (Shea-Porter), respectively.

- Nearly a clean sweep in Pennsylvania, where Don "Ike Turner" Sherwood (who choked his mistress) and Curt Weldon (whose offices were searched by the FBI last week) both lost their reelection bids. Tragic, no?

- South Dakota voters rejecting an incredibly restrictive abortion ballot measure. I guess Dick Cheney wasn't able to shoot any sense into them.

- And finally, Katherine Harris got womped by Bill "I have no personality" Nelson. No commentary here, I kind of just want to bask in it.
