Glenn Greenwald has seen the future, and it is depressingly familiar.

58. At this point in the festivities

it is that magic time when Madhound, as predictable as the tides - ceremoniously and with great fanfare - drops the inevitable turd into the punchbowl.

"Huzzah! Huzzah!" shout the Greenwald idolizers, marching in lockstep behind their hero - seeing it as a welcome respite from their usual routine of decrying Obama supporters as locksteppers.

I appreciate how tough things have been for the Madhounds of the world, watching in horror as Democrats united in order to re-elect their president. And now those same Dems have the nerve to celebrate that achievement, dismissing those who have unsuccessfully attempted to sow the seeds of discontent among them. This gives the Madhounds a major sad.

But buck up, Madhound! You now have another four years to rant about all the things you know are going to happen under a second Obama term - which, as always, never come to pass.
