David Roberts at Grist.org is 100% correct:
At this point, the smart money is on Democrats losing the House. What will the GOP do with their shiny new majority? They're not shy about it: They will launch a wave of investigations, inquiries, and witch hunts. An endless stream of allegations and subpoenas will be used to distract and slow the executive branch. Remember the fevered madness around the Clinton administration in the late '90s? Vince Foster assassinated? Clinton dealing drugs in Arkansas? The next two years will be like that, only worse. Republicans are even nuttier now than they were then, and the media is even less able to sift valid stories from 'winger-generated pseudo scandals. It will be a circus. I put the odds of an impeachment effort at somewhere north of 85 percent.
I am seething with anger at how the Democrats fucking pissed away an utterly historic domination of the House, Senate and Executive and kowtowed to the Republicans just to be "bipartisan". I need to just take a moment here and offer some carefully worded advice to the Democratic party.
Let me sell you guys a clue on how the Republicans operate, ok? Take notes here, as this is crucially important that you drill this through your thick skull for next time...if you guys get a next time:
This is how the Republicans do it. And all you idiots got hard peckers thinking that Rahm Emmanuel was some kind of "enforcer". You're about to get schooled. Again.
But you know what, you Democrats thoroughly deserve the beating You are about to take. You utterly abandoned your base for the Washington Machine and Corporate interests. Reap, sow motherfuckers. Reap. Sow. It's just a shame you're taking the rest of us down with you.
