CNN finds a way to trivialize the most important night of a generation, while Gore Vidal elevates sanctimonious befuddlement to an art form

With Joe The Plumber and the Hockey Mom meme, the 2008 Presidential election was constantly in danger of devolving into a grand, stupid children's show. CNN plunged the narrative further in that direction with their idiotic moronic asinine ill-advised hologram interviews last night.

And this delightful clip comes from BBC America's coverage: Gore Vidal manages to look simultaneously arrogant and buffoonish.

There are a bunch of stories out today about people who were addicted to the campaign coverage and how they're going to have to come down from their info-huffing and have a life again. Personally, I'm just glad it's over. I'm exhausted.
