PEST

FrontPage magazine has the story on the first lawsuit brought by a complete LOSER angry about the election. This woman is suing the Republican party for taking an active role in getting Bush elected.

One might be forgiven for thinking that the first suit against the Republican Party for Post Election Selection Trauma (PEST) would have been filed in Palm Beach County, but a 38-year-old from Manhattan’s West Side has beaten her Floridian fellow victims to the punch.
Barbi Weiner, a third grade teacher currently on disability, is suing the Republican party for having taken an active role in returning George Bush to the White House, a circumstance that resulted in Ms. Weiner suffering a nervous collapse last Nov.8th as she crossed West 72nd Street.
“I looked up and saw the WestSideWaffle! sign with its big red ‘W’s,’” she says. “And I realized it was true, he won. Then I started thinking about my life and I realized that I couldn’t go on living in a country where a war-mongering baby-killer holds the highest office in the land. I guess I lost it.”
Asked why she doesn’t simply make up her mind to leave the country, Ms. Weiner said, “That’s a typical Republican oversimplification - if you don’t like it, leave. Nothing will ever change if we just run away. I chose the principled response. But I didn’t think I’d wind up spending a week in a mental hospital. There’s nothing crazy about wanting the President of the United States to be a Democrat. Anyway, I shouldn’t have had to lose it completely just to bring this crisis to the attention of the American people.”

BTW, this is a fictional story, but then why is it so damn believable?!?
