The thing that elevates this above your standard Democrat-mockery is that it’s not a parody. Try to keep that in mind as you roll about on the floor, shrieking with delight; this is a genuine, heartfelt response to the Tragic Bush Re-Election.
I’d like to see a version using this soundtrack, however. Then it would be perfect.
(Via reader Bob)
For additional effect, try watching it without sound…seeing all those depressed faces amidst complete silence transforms the slideshow from unintentionally funny to hilariously pathetic.
And don’t miss the second Thank You screen at the end…that list of “people who kept us sane during the last four years” has to be seen, just for the near-infinite irony factor.
- This really angers me (from the same site above):
“Tell people you personally speak with god, and instead of interning you in a psychiatric institution, they’ll vote for you.”
…
“But apparently, getting consensual oral sex is the subject for impeachment and outrage for years and years to come.”
Moral relativism in action, for all to see.
You’d think that Kerry had been assassinated rather than defeated at the polls. You’d think that Kerry was the savior of a generation rather than the fairly unremarkable politician that he is. These people need to get some perspective, fast.

Kate Bush has no business singing in her shower on a remote desert island (IMNTBHO), much less in any place where microphones and recording devices are present, but that music—the maudlin, over-the-top depressed-teenage-girl sentimentality!—is just perfect!
The slideshow also goes well with “Vertigo” by U2, though the resulting effect is not quite what “Julian” intended. You might also try it with Beck’s “Loser.”
As I watched that I tilted my head compassionately for those who had their dreams squashed like a bug on the windshield of Bush’s campaign bus. It was just as funny seen from an angle.

I wonder how many of those poor dears are now suffering from, and being treated for, PEST: ‘Post Election Selection Trauma’. I wish I were making PEST up, but I’m not. There’s a bunch of people in the US being treated for it.

- I know you have a little life in you yet
I know you have a lot of strength left
…
I should be crying
But I just can’t let it show
I should be hopping
But I can’t stop thinking
All the things I should’ve said
That I never said
All the things we should of done
That we never did
All the things I should’ve given
But I didn’t

Exactly. The only thing, appalling is it was, that made JF Kennedy a demi-god is that he was murdered. Had he lived to surpass his use-by date (which was approaching fast) he would have gone down in history as another time-waster a-la Jimmy Carter

Couldn’t stop laughing…
Did anyone manage to count all the veeeery sad head tilts in that Flash clip?—They must have all been practising for the World Sorry Day…
