The 2004 election is over
|
|
<p>From the <a href='http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2003/09/04/wun04.xml'>Telegraph</a>:</p>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p>A spokesman for Mr Berlusconi said the prime minister had been<br />
|
|
telephoned recently by Col Gaddafi of Libya, who said: “I will do<br />
|
|
whatever the Americans want, because I saw what happened in Iraq, and<br />
|
|
I was afraid.”</p>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
<p>This is the quote that will re-elect George W. Bush president.<br />
|
|
Because after 9/11, what Americans want is a president that will make<br />
|
|
tyrants and terrorists very, very afraid. Bush, for all his other<br />
|
|
failings, has delivered on that. As Edwin Edwards (four-term governor<br />
|
|
of Lousiana) might put it, Bush couldn’t lose the election now unless<br />
|
|
he got caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy.</p>
