Sound Politics: Believe it or not

January 26, 2006

Believe it or not

Al-Jazeera reports that terrorist group Hamas has won the Parliamentary election in the Palestinian territories.

This is shocking enough, but vote counters also found 32 more votes for Christine Gregoire!

2. I will be traveling down to Olympia to meet with occupant-of-the-gubernatorial-chair Gregoire as part of the WSNA to-do next Tuesday.

Do you want me to give a report of the occasion afterwards?

4. Only if you thoroughly dissect her. Do you really think she will be there for more than 15 minutes?

And please, report back to us what she says on this new revelation.

6. I hear those 32 votes were cast at the Palistinians' Evergreen State College voting precinct.

8. off-topic

Nicole Brodeur made the big time, not as she would like though. Check out the review of her article in this morning's Times at sweetness-light.com.

Laughingstock.

You obviously wouldn't cut it as a member of the King Co. canvassing board. It is clear to any "unbiased" observer that all of those little squiggly marks are obviously votes for Fraudoire. The voters just didn't know enough to fill in the oval, so they made those funny-looking marks. In fact, if you look closely, you can probably see "Christine Rossi" written in there. Yep, obviously another vote for Fraudoire. Mark it down, and "move on".

(Yeah, "move on" this, libs...)

13. Actually, it appears that the Palestinian elections were not marked by widespread cheating.

That's how I knew the Gregoire line was a joke.

14. Oh grow up Stefan.

15. The Gregoire votes were probably the ONLY un-extorted votes cast in that election!
Heh....I think Gregoire should visit the Palestinians! She could make another "sister" city like the one she has in Cuba!...(gag!)
