Well, that’s actually paraphrasing the title of the latest lunatic column by Ted Rall, in which he asks if George Bush is going to cancel the elections next year.
Yes, Ted, he’s going to cancel the elections. That’s why he’s out raising a quarter of a billion dollars in campaign funds.
Well, OK, at the end of his little binge of mindlessness, he does come back to within screaming distance of reality:
Bush may be the kind of guy who sees 99 percent odds as 2 percent short of a sure thing, but I bet he’ll look at his $200 million campaign war chest and decide to let the people decide. He’ll surely want to win legitimately in 2004–albeit for the first time. Though they’re capable of anything, Bush’s people probably know that Americans wouldn’t stand for two putsches in four years.
They still can’t get over the fact that the Supreme Court wouldn’t allow Gore and his brigade of lawyers to steal the election…
