"There's a lot of disappointment out here. A lot of apprehension," said Robert Dowling, editor in chief of the Hollywood Reporter. "People are comatose."

=======================================
Now, amid the second-guessing and recriminations that inevitably haunt the losing side, some are beginning to ask: Has Hollywood become a liability to the Democrats?
=======================================
In the end, in this election cycle there were two classes of celebrities: those who with well-thought-out assistance actually aided a candidate and those who with mindless rhetoric became lightning rods and ended up motivating the other side.

Alas, no this should not be in the humor category. Where the people behind these quotes given the opportuity to examine them in print and moderate the message, none would see the need.
The Left simply thinks when the world doesn't break their way, then the world is wrong. Very wrong. The Left is not much for facts or the more rarified truth, no, the Left would prefer something that vague and magical. Witness that mainstay icebreaker of the liberal chardonnay and brie buffet: What's your sign?
No doubt when the Left is good and ready to float, well, gravity will find itself in the liberal dustbin along with God, the last vestiges of the Judeo-Christian tradition, Huckleberry Finn, cigarettes, and french fries.
