2. Are you sending this to the media?

I see reports like this all the time and am wondering if people are taunting our MSM w/ this stuff? Maybe if they get enough of this stuff they will all grow some balls! I know I've sent a few here and there. This one is one they need to see. Add a little note to it telling how repulsed we all are by our MSM and see how long it will take for them to respond. We need to send them more than the numbers! Re-crunching and re-verifying those nembers takes time and they have to do it to run the story! Let's give them some incentive! We need to make them realize how regressive they are!

10. BTW

This litte excerpt is verifiable where?

"At his ranch in Texas, Bush, who was on his 22nd consecutive day of vacation following the "election," spoke briefly to reporters. "We have put our antennas out," Bush said, sipping on a large mug of beer, then placing both hands with raised index fingers on the top of his head to signify a strange version of an antenna. "We are deeply disturbed about the fraud reports we hear from Utah."

An aide then whispered in Bush’s ear, and he looked up with a smirk, "I mean, the Ukraine. That’s near Utah, right?" Bush whacked the aide on his back.

A journalist interrupted to say, "Uh, no, Mr. President, the Ukraine is HALFWAY AROUND THE FREAKING WORLD from Utah. Anyway, the matter at hand was about fraud reports in the U.S. What do you make of these reports of voting fraud right here in our country?"

Bush squinted hard at the reporter and replied, "Go ahead, punk, make my day!"

The journalist retorted, "What the hell do you mean, Mr. President?"

Bush then shrugged. "Beats me. I never know what’s going to come out of my mouth. Especially lately when I’ve been hitting the sauce and some really mind-expanding pills my doctors gives me."

3. Good article

Favorite quote:

"The exit polls that day pointed to a big win by Mr. Kerry," Yusogotcha said. "Yet, a sudden rush of ‘moral’ voters was said by your media to make the difference for Bush. Where were these ‘moral’ voters when your country was lying about its reasons for invading Iraq, taking over its oil and furthering certain people’s dreams of an empire? The world has not seen that many ‘moral’ American voters before."

There's also some funny chimp-mockery!

5. Turn around is fair I guess

A delegation of international election observers from the Ukraine harshly criticized the recent U.S. electoral process, with one saying, "It reminds me of the worst examples of suppression and dirty tricks under the former Soviet regimes."

The delegation outlined a long list of alleged instances of fraud and questionable actions that occurred before and during the Nov. 2 election. Among those was Ohio Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell, the co-chairman of Bush’s campaign in Ohio, deciding to only put two ballot machines per 100,000 voters in urban, Democratic-strong precincts and two machines per 10 voters in rural and suburban Republican-strong precincts.

"This was a blatant attempt to make voters for Mr. Kerry stand in long lines and leave without voting," said Yuri Yusogotcha, head of the Ukrainian delegation. "Our government does this in the Ukraine, too, especially when we run short of food.”

In addition, the delegation noted that Blackwell made a “curious comment” about Katherine Harris, the former Florida secretary of state who presided over the 2000 recount again as a co-chair of Bush’s campaign, being rewarded with a good position now in Congress. "As they say in your American streets, what up wit dat?" Yusogotcha asked.

6. Funny

Good for a laugh, too bad it's not true.

[illflem]

12. Agreed, not true

Among those was Ohio Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell, the co-chairman of Bush’s campaign in Ohio, deciding to only put two ballot machines per 100,000 voters in urban, Democratic-strong precincts and two machines per 10 voters in rural and suburban Republican-strong precincts.

Statements that are obviously wrong like this make the entire article suspect. Spreading false information only hurts the cause.

17. It's a SATIRE, for crying out loud.

[texpatriot2004]

7. We remind them of the worst examples under Soviet regimes

Great. We remind them of the worst examples of suppression and dirty tricks.

Thanks bmoney07 for the link. Jackson Thoreau is great. The Ukraine people are great.

Interesting bit about Blackwell on the reward Katherine Harris got for Florida 2000. I bet he has his eyes on a sweet deal like that.

8. Lots' of stuff here

That I had not heard before. Makes me even MORE outraged.

[IAMREALITY]

9. It Is SATIRE! Jesus Christ Don't Send it to the Media!! LOL n/t

[bush_is_wacko]

11. Wait a second!

The MSM needs to know they are being satirized, don't you think? I'm sick of them sitting on their butts and glueing their mouths shut!!! That is the whole point of taunting them!

[keepthemhonest]

13. is this a paper for real

did Bush actually say these things abd if he did,then he still did not answer the question.


Bush squinted hard at the reporter and replied, "Go ahead, punk, make my day!"

The journalist retorted, "What the hell do you mean, Mr. President?"

Bush then shrugged. "Beats me. I never know what’s going to come out of my mouth. Especially lately when I’ve been hitting the sauce and some really mind-expanding pills my doctors gives me." ]

22 day of vacation, what the hell, I guess he needed it after all that cheating and before all that prison

[LisaL]

15. Of course it's a joke.

I guess it's sounds pretty close to the truth, it's hard to figure out, but come on...

[keepthemhonest]

16. I guess because they mixed some real news in there

it threw me off,plus I skimmed it, when I went back and reread it I realised my error

Sipping his glass of beer (LOL)

[LisaL]

18. I presume that's how satire usually works.

[Bread and Circus]

14. It's so true, laughable, and painful it should be in "The onion"

How funny that we are the laughing stock of the world.

[Patsy Stone]

19. Wow, how fake is that???

You-so-gotcha? Truly funny, nice satire.

[bmoney07]

22. Imagine how the media would be all over this if it was in Ukraine?

Not to say they already are not, but jeez.
