THE VICTIM CARD

From Taegan Goddard's Political Wire:

Quote of the Day

"So, nobody expected you to win -- I know how you feel."

-- President Bush, quoted by the Detroit News, "chuckling" with the Detroit Pistons in a White House celebration of their 2004 NBA championship.

Hunh? In what parallel universe is this anything other than a non sequitur? Yeah, there were a few observers who thought Bush was likely to lose (Zogby's the only one I remember), but here on Earth the vast majority of sentient beings thought Kerry maybe had a reasonable chance to win.

Good Christ -- now this puffed-up son of a bitch is congratulating himself for winning as an underdog?
