According to Kevin Drum, Rush Limbaugh has told someone -- presumably a Democrat -- that it's time to get over 2000. I can only assume that this refers to the disputed election, in which a man who shouldn't have become President was nevertheless allowed to become President. Well, fine. But if we on the Left are supposed to get over 2000 and never talk about it again, then here is a list of things -- each of which came before 2000 -- that I think the Right needs to get over and never talk about again:

Bill Clinton, Monica Lewinsky, Whitewater, Vince Foster, the White House Travel Office, Waco and the Branch Davidians, the defeat of Robert Bork, Jimmy Carter and his "malaise" speech (in which he didn't even use the word "malaise"), "Hanoi Jane", the 1960 election.

I could go on, but that'll do for starters. Outrage goes both ways, folks.
