i don't know why the right wing going completely ga-ga over this should surprise me.
several ago, another blogger (who shall remain nameless) told me that he didn't think the modern right had a coherent philosophy or any grasp of policy. all they care about is pissing off the left. the funny thing is that quite a lot of them have no idea what members of "the left" actually think. and so we are occasionally treated to these bizarre moments when i see them revel over "the left's defeat" when i, at least, don't care at all about the thing they are crowing about.
i'm not the only one either. in left blogistan today there's puzzlement at the right's reaction, with some outright mockery of them. no actual tears.
