Let’s Have a Fond Recounting of How Much You Lost By

So Kloppy-burger is asking for a recount in Wisconsin. Seems rather pointless. I mean, she was quick to declare victory with a 200 vote margin which was recount worthy (though I wouldn’t have been too hopeful for Prosser), but now a 7,000 vote margin is suspect? I don’t think a lot of people understood how statistically unlikely it was that the couple hundred vote margin Bush won by would be overturned by a recount, but thinking there could be a miscount somewhere to the order of thousands of votes is just insane. She isn’t asking for a recount; she’s charging fraud or just wasting everyone’s time. So show the fraud, or stop wasting everyone’s time. Only stupid people could think there is any point to this (hey, look — here’s a Kos post on it to raise money).

This usually inconsequential judicial election became the last gasp of unions, and I think they’re just having a really hard time dealing with the fact that it’s over for them. They’re done. Might as well figure out what museum they want to donate their dinosaur bones to. And it was kind of mean how that election played out in that they thought they won and then — POW! — here’s 7,000 more votes. It’s like instead of just not getting a kid the toy he wanted, you get it for him, let him open it up and admire it, and then smash it in front of him. That’s always hilarious.

Well, look at a recount this way: It will be yet another opportunity to mock them for losing.

  1. Prosser? I thought I was voting for Gore! That ballot was confusing. Well dimple my chad, I’m a victim! It seems now the only reasonable thing to do is assualt Fox News reporters, vandalize the capital, and call Al Sharpton.

  2. The Joe Miller push was even more egregious for 11k out of 258k, as opposed to 7k out of 1497k. Still, there should be some evidence that particular counties made mistakes in their final official tallies before going crazy on statewide recounts

  3. I don’t trust “recount” votes! One for Prosser – whoops, dropped those ten in the trash can, oh well, 250 for Klopenhagmeister…One for Prosser…Hey I thought there were another 1,000 for Prosser somewhere? Did one of you guys do something with them…everyone stands around whistling and looking at the ceiling…OK…just no funny business ok? 10,000 for Klopenhagmeister…One for Prosser…Oh look 5,000 for Koppenhagmeister…One for Prosser…no…that one doesn’t look right, they filled in the blank instead of a nice neat X…that get’s tossed…

  4. I just had a thought. With Easter just around the corner and all… I wonder if Obama plans to Crucify Republicans all around the wading pool. It would be really sweet at night when he lights them on fire… Christians are next so the Republicans will be a “trial run”…

  5. These are the “people” Boehner and his buddies want to try to “negotiate” and “make deals” with. Nope, you can’t reason with democrats…if they could reason they wouldn’t be democrats.

  6. The 400 vote margin of victory she thought she had was sooooo decisive,
    but a 7000 vote margin of victory is a tenuous likely overturned by a recount.

    Doesn’t illogic like this disqualify the Burgermeister Kloppenburger from a judgeship?

  7. let’s have a wrestle off. The winner of a one fall 10 min time limit grudge match. No a cage match. With foreign objects allowed. With special celebrity ref the Nature Boy Ric Flare. Yeah that’s the ticket!

  8. I don’t think wreslin’ is a good idea in this case. If I was a guy and I had to wrasle’ that, I would be so severely scarred by the incident that being a judge might be delicate. Like, I’d carry “The Judge” under my robe and and as soon as the jury pronounced someone guilty, I’d blast him to kingdom come. Of course I’d blame it on PTSD from having to wresle Klopenhagmeister! And everyone would like shake their head and go, ok we understand…carry on!
