Wow. Rip van Loser wakes up.

Sen. John Kerry, the Democratic presidential candidate in 2004, has told acquaintances over the past year that he suspects that the election was stolen, but that he didn’t challenge the official results because he lacked hard proof and anticipated a firestorm of criticism if he pressed the point.

It's late, and you can all go down my blog and read the details about "hard proof" and firestorms and what not, but frankly, this just makes me sick.

Question: if the most important democracy in the entire world were at stake, would you risk everything, even your life, to save it? I know my answer. What the fuck is Kerry's problem?

That's always been the heart of the voting matter to me. Tell me where I've got it wrong. But don't tell me to be impressed, happy, or respectful that Captain Obvious gets with the program months after it could have made a difference. Oh well, I guess we'll just have to enjoy another 2K dead over the next three years because Windsurfman didn't want to endure a "firestorm."

Whatever.
