The Orange and the Purple Revolutions

This has been a good year for democracy. First the Orange Revolution and today it's the purple fingers. Teddy Kennedy must be furious. His view that Iraq is part of the timewarp he lives in, where every foreign policy issue resembles Vietnam, is getting shaky. His whining about exit strategy merely shows how far in denial he and those like him are.

Scrappleface sums up the result for the mainstream media.

You'd think Democrats would be cheering, but these days "Democrat" is to democrat like war is to peace. It's newspeak. They should be named according to the people they are most closely aligned with, the anti-Americans in Europe and ANSWER. In their anger and hatred of all things Bush, there is no point talking sense to them. Instapundit keeps posting about efforts to reform the Democrat Party, but it's putting new wine into old bottles. The New Deal is now old. Roosevelt wouldn't recognize his old party, as it has become the party of isolation, like the Republicans who opposed fighting Hitler until we were ourselves attacked.
