Erica Jong speaking to an Italian paper demonstrates that the left has lost it and might want to read a book or go for a walk and keep away from the news until after the election. Evidently, they can’t handle the stress, it’s making them wacky:

“The record shows that voting machines in America are rigged.”
“My friends Ken Follett and Susan Cheever are extremely worried. Naomi Wolf calls me every day. Yesterday, Jane Fonda sent me an email to tell me that she cried all night and can’t cure her ailing back for all the stress that has reduces her to a bundle of nerves.”
“My back is also suffering from spasms, so much so that I had to see an acupuncturist and get prescriptions for Valium.”
“After having stolen the last two elections, the Republican Mafia…”
“If Obama loses it will spark the second American Civil War. Blood will run in the streets, believe me. And it’s not a coincidence that President Bush recalled soldiers from Iraq for Dick Cheney to lead against American citizens in the streets.”
“Bush has transformed America into a police state, from torture to the imprisonment of reporters, to the Patriot Act.”

Imprisonment of reporters? Dick Cheney leading soldiers against American citizens in the streets? I can’t imagine Cheney out in the street leading soldiers, can you? Pretty funny!
So, are you guys planning to riot if Obama loses?
