No, not THIS time, the LAST two times.... why am I just now noticing this? Watching Bush's press conference, suddenly it ALL makes sense!!!

It's a wonder he didn't run around during Katrina yelling "I'm drowning! I'm drowning!"

Sheesh.

How many more days until the real President shows up again?

1. There's a valid argument to be made that he wasn't elected EITHER time...

2. No, the electoral college did their thing....
.... so he was ELECTED .... whether or not he received the votes necessary is the question.

Whether or not he's a putz head is NOT in question.

6. Well, you know what happened in 2000.
The Supreme Court selected Bush*, even though Al Gore won the popular vote. And then there's Greg Palast's book, The Best Democracy That Money Can Buy...

As for the 2004 election, Kerry actually won Ohio and New Mexico, so he should have been president. The system that the Democrats put in place after 2000 to counteract another stolen election obviously failed. Here's the story:
