Get over it

With the entire nation poised to become Candyland tomorrow at about noon Eastern, some pathetic dickheads just can't let go of their BDS:

Hill's sister, Ashley Hill of Durango, Colo., picked up a pair of strappy brown leather sandals from one of the piles of donated shoes strewn around Dupont Circle. Hill pointed his camera phone.

"This is totally cathartic," Hill said as he snapped a shot of Ashley launching the sandals. "How can you resist?"

The shoes bounced off the Bush doll's midsection, forcing a local television cameraman to duck as they sailed past his head.

On the stage nearby -- behind a neat line of boots, loafers and sneakers -- Gael Murphy, co-founder of the antiwar group Code Pink, called Zaidi courageous and thanked "everyone who has stood up and spoken truth to power in their own way."

"Hold onto your shoes," Murphy said to the crowd of about 100 protesters. "The struggle is not over."

I've said it before, but I think it bears repeating—I think some of these wretched assholes are actually going to be disappointed by the peaceful transfer of power when it takes place tomorrow.  They've built themselves up as brave fighters of fascism, and they're not going to have Chimpy McBu$hitlerbutron and his Cabal of dual-loyalty (nudge-nudge) Neocon (wink-wink) war criminals to rail against anymore. 

Sure, they've got their petitions (mentioned in the article) to get Bush administration officials tried for war crimes, but I'm pretty sure Obama is smart enough to figure out that something like that would rip the country apart and would result in every last action of his administration being scrutinized by his political enemies for the slightest taint of illegality. 

At least I hope he's smart enough to figure that out.

UPDATE (doubleplusundead): Jonn Lilyea went over to watch the screwball protesters, has some video and photos, be sure to check out his post.
