"'Twas the night after the election" (an homage to friends at MSNBC) [View all]

'Twas the night after the election and all through the land
The Democrats partied like only they can
While Republicans huddled, scared under their bed
Their dreams of a comeback now deader than dead!
My partner had settled to sleep for the night
And was waiting for me to turn out the damn light....
When out from our den there arose such a clatter
that I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter!
Straight to the sofa I tore on the run,
just as the next talk show had barely begun.
The panel that evening was loud and outspoken
And I feared that some horrible scandal had broken!
When what to my drowsy old eyes should appear
But an MSNBC commentator knocking back a cold beer!
With a chill up his leg, he did a quick jig
So I knew that Chris Matthews must be hosting the gig!
"Now Jansing, now Tamron, now Big Ed and Larry!
On Sharpton, Karnacki and Ms. Harris-Perry!
The pundits were gathered round one tiny table
Each giving opinions as best they were able
All talking at once, everyone was excited
The Electoral College left all quite delighted!
Then Rachel made cocktails like only she can
As 'Hot Thomas" Roberts showed his 'honeymoon tan'
S.E. Cupp served the party, everyone on the set
It was her job that evening, 'cause she lost the bet!
Next our favorite Britster, namely Martin Bashir
Led all of his colleagues in an old English cheer (HUZZAH!)
As Alex and Toure joined Chris Hayes and Ms Ball
in toasting Mitt Romney's precipitous fall!
And I heard them exclaim, as they wrapped up the show...
"Is this shit really over, and can we really go?"
