To: Smogger

we are screwn.



I am glad we have a spell checker.

[Orrex]

10. How many Freepers does it take to screwn in a lightbulb?

I'd guess 50, with Cheney casting the tie-breaker. Too bad they'll only have 49!

[Left Brain]

39. Interesting. Word seems to be

that the Libertarians doth boned and screwn them.

I dunno, I'm kind of liking that new terminology:

SCREWN - (skroon; adj.; FR ultra-slang, fr."screwed," slang)
1. Ousted, as in "Democrats decidedly screwn Republicans in the 2006 election"
2. Served, as in,"Mr. President, you are screwn"


Loving every minute of this. I thought I died in 2000, and I died again in '04. Resurrection is sweet.

[PermanentRevolution]

48. Yeah, I like "screwn"

For some reason, it's got a kind of Old-world charm to it.

Verily, they hath screwn us for too long, yet now is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer...

[krispos42]

51. Clear! (bzzzzzzt!!!) Clear! (BZZZZZZTTTT!)

There ya go. Wake up and smell the napalm... :-)

[Freedom_from_Chains]

7. Yep, invest in Lilly, Prozac sales will be going up shortly.

[Tight_rope]

23. LMBAO...that for damn sure!

[NoSheep]

36. I'm going BANANAS!!!!!

:toast: :bounce:

64. STP to Freepers: All your Congress are belong to us

Americans saved America from tyranny yesterday. :bounce::bounce::bounce:

Got us by the Tester-cles now... :rofl:

3. I Believe!

Give it up Macaca! Welcome to America!

6. BOOOYAAAAHHH

I feel like John Goodman's character in The Big Lebowski "Mark it zero!!!!" or in this case MARK IT WON!!!!!! :)

[mikeytherat]

22. And the GOP is Steve Buscemi:

9. AWESOME news!

:woohoo:

[Rowdyboy]

11. This gives us 50 seats (including Lieberman)....Webb will make it 51

Life is incredibly good.

[RoccoR5955]

50. We have 51 seats.... Don't forget Bernie!

Don't forget Bernie Sanders (I) VT. He will side with the Dems, but he is a bit too liberal for them.
I was truly surprised when my own Congressman, Maurice Hinchey, (D-NY22) had no opposition. He's as liberal as they come. I am proud of him, and now cannot wait for him to be unleashed on Bushco, Inc.

[rep the dems]

56. I thought Bernie was number 50, and Webb would give us 51.

[virgdem]

12. MSNBC reports..

Calling Montana for Tester.

[gully]

13. Wow.

more great news!

[Raiden]

14. We just won the Senate!!!

Congratulations guys :cheers:

15. We need VA. NT

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

57. As we all should well know, recounts almost never work for the loser.

You may start celebrating now. :party:

[KamaAina]

16. Nitpick: Senator-elect Tester spells his name "Jon".

WOOHOO! I just typed "Senator-elect Tester"! :bounce:

This also saves me from having to lean on my boss who relocated here from Billings. :-)

[Toucano]

73. I love a nitpicker!

How else would any of us learn!

Thanks :)

[SusanaMontana41]

17. That's our boy!

My first time voting in Montana, and my son, 19, voted for the first time ever. We're loving it! Buh bye, CONrad!

[VolcanoJen]

18. Welcome to DU!!!!

What a great day for all of us!

[SusanaMontana41]

21. Thank you!

I'm so happy to finally be a member of this great community. You all have kept me sane! A great day, indeed!

[rg302200]

24. Welcome to DU

Life is good now for you in Montana, just as it is for me now in Ohio!

[SusanaMontana41]

74. Thanks, rg!

LIfe is good for all of us now, isn't it? The Constitution lives!

[colorado_ufo]

34. Big DU welcome!

And congrats to your son for voting! Way to go!

[SusanaMontana41]

75. Thank you, colorado!

Since he was about 5, he's always gone the polls with me. I'm so glad his first time voting was so satisfying!

I work at a newspaper and got home at about 2:30 Wednesday morning. He wasn't sleeping but hadn't been watching the returns. After learning about what happened, he did a little victory dance in our living room. Like everyone else here, we're still walking on air!

[BigDDem]

19. Woo hoo, congrats!

Does this mean we dont get to hear the "secret plan?"

[Tight_rope]

20. Hot diggodi damn!

[twaddler01]

65. LOL nice

Happy day indeed!

[bobbie]

25. Oh baby oh baby...this is SCHWEET!

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[fed-up]

27. Montana just made my day!! along w/2 escrows closing tomorrow n/t

[Moloch]

28. WOO HOO@#!#@!@@!#

GO TESTER!@#@#!

Now let's knock macaca's soft teeth down his whiny throat.

[colorado_ufo]

35. Elegant, and appropriate!

[swag]

29. I apologize for MarketWatch's bad spelling. It's Jon Tester, of course.

[Scurrilous]

31. Yes!

:thumbsup:

[UCLA Dem]

32. YEA!!!!!!!!!!! ONE more to go!!!

I can't believe it. This is the most exciting ever!!!! Finally!!!

[sebastianj333]

37. HELL YEAH!

Now if my homestate of Virginia can do right, we are all set!
What a day!

[sable227]

38. Thank You Montana!

You rock!

[obnoxiousdrunk]

40. Not True....

Conrad Burns said that he has a secret precint and he ain't telling.... What if Jon blows it.

[rsmith6621]

41. In Reality We Have the Majority...

With Bernie Saunders pretty much with our agenda we in effect have the majority....

[ananda]

42. Bernie is good for caucusing and votes..

.. but we need Webb for committee clout.

Go Webb!

[thickerstrings]

43. The sun is brighter ...

the air is clearer, and I haven't felt this good about an election since 1992. My faith in (many of) the American people is restored. And as of last night, Webb is leading in Virginia by 11,000 votes. It's fun to kick ass, yes?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

44. Cheney is the tiebreaker when they need him though

and I don't trust my senator to vote DEm now.

[Roland99]

45. YES!!!!!

[superconnected]

47. All I can say is, What happened to Diebold and the other

republican voting companies.

Afraid of the attention so kept their head down?

[GCP]

49. OMG - I'm shagged out from happy-dancing!!

This is the best time I've had in 6 years :woohoo:

[Zambero]

52. Keep your snarl and offensive remarks at home Mr. Cheney!

Your vote won't be needed, and decorum on the floor of the Senate is in effect once again.

[SueZhope]

53. Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay!

Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay,
My, oh, my, what a wonderful day.
Plenty of sunshine headin' my way,
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay!

[MrsT]

54. Thank God. Now on to VA.

:woohoo:

[rep the dems]

55. JUST ONE MORE!!!!

[superconnected]

58. Dear New Congress, Please Impeach Bush as your first act.

Then try him for war crimes and profiteering.

I realize you have a lot to clean up, but this thug should not walk.

A big apology to Iraq is also in order. But if you really want to say you're sorry, try the person responsible for the Iraqis murdered in this illegal war - George W. Bush.

[WoodyD]

59. Yaaaay Montana

As a Montana voter, I'm relieved and overjoyed that Tester won, but still appalled that nearly 50% of the voters supported that corrupt bastard Burns. Thank goodness it wasn't enough, and it doesn't look like it'll be close enough for a recount, either. So Cheney, you can take your hopes of casting the tie-breaking votes and go fuck yourself. As you yourself would no doubt put it.

Thanks for the link to the Freepers forum upthread. I don't know what's funnier -- their anger, their despair or their spelling.

[Lindacooks]

60. WOOOO - HOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Celebrate! Celebrate! Dance to the music!!

[NotGivingUp]

61. yippee!!!!!

[whistle]

62. Great, what about Virginia? Those 50 seats are all real Democrats

...correct, Joe <Benedict Arnold> Lieberman is classified as Independent and went on record today as siding with republicans.

[drm604]

63. Lieberman.

What? Do you have a cite for that? What exactly did he say?

[mcscajun]

70. That report on Lieberman is off-base

Lieberman will be one of two independents in the new Senate. Rep. Bernie Sanders, an eight-terms congressman who calls himself a socialist, won the seat of retiring Sen. Jim Jeffords, also an independent. Both Lieberman and Sanders have said they will align themselves with Democrats.

67. Whoooeeeeeee!!!

Song my godmother used to sing:

Oh, what a beautiful morning!
Oh, what a beautiful day!
Oh, what a wonderful feeling...
Everything's going my way!

[BlueIris]

68. Go, Treasure State!!!

Kisses, from Iris.

[Anakin Skywalker]

71. Montanans Said NO to Hate (in the form of Conrad "Condie" Burns)

[mikeyj84]

72. Tester win

Why can't Burns just eat his crow and concede?????? What is he holding on for, Divine intervention?

[NYYFan]

76. Burns couldn't even face the cameras- he sent a statement to AP

At least Macaca is facing the cameras. What a weasel !

GO TESTER !!
