Defeated Dems Actually Cry on House Floor

It didn't have to be this way. All they had to do was listen to the American people and reject Nancy Pelosi's and Barack Obama's far-left agenda.

The Hill reported:

Dejected Democrats wiped away tears on the House floor Monday night while Republicans congratulated themselves on winning back control of the lower chamber.

House members returned to the nation’s capital for the first time since Republicans captured the House two weeks ago.

Freshman Rep. Debbie Halvorson (D-Ill.), who lost her reelection bid, wiped away tears as she hugged fellow members of the class of 2008, many of whom lost on Nov. 2.

Less than three feet away, ousted Nevada freshman Rep. Dina Titus (D) appeared to brush away some tears in a less obvious manner.

Hezbollah Defeated in Lebanon

Finally, some good news from the Middle East. Hezbollah has been defeated in Lebanon by the March 14 coalition. The Palestine Telegraph reported:

Lebanon, June 8, (Pal Telegraph) - The leader of Lebanon's March 14 coalition has declared victory over Hezbollah's coalition in the country's closely-contested parliamentary elections.

"Congratulations to Lebanon, congratulations to democracy, congratulations to freedom," Saad al-Hariri, the son of slain former prime minister, Rafiq al-Hariri, said in a televised address from Beirut early on Monday.

Unofficial results projected al-Hariri's anti-Syrian coalition, which held the majority in the outgoing parliament, would win 70 seats in the new
128-seat assembly and the Hezbollah alliance 58 seats.

Al Jazeera's James Bays, reporting from Beirut, said the results were not official but all the political parties seemed to be accepting them.

Hezbollah, while not making any official statement yet, had privately conceded defeat, our correspondent said.
