End challenge to Bush's win, lawyers urge Ohio high court
Lawyers for the Bush campaign asked Ohio's high court Monday to throw out a legal challenge to the president's re-election, even as protesters accelerated accusations of widespread mistakes and manipulation.

The Bush-Cheney regional chairwoman, JoAnn Davidson, said two months is long enough for the Republican victors to withstand protesters, whose public claims and multiple legal actions she characterized as frivolous and unsubstantiated.

"I think we've been very quiet, we've been very patient and we've been very tolerant," Davidson said. "We've given the courts an opportunity to review these matters, but there comes a time that we say we need to accept the results and move on."

1. Sounds like they are getting nervous...
Thursday is show and tell time. We will see if the Dems in Congress are going to be as spineless as they were in 2000 when not one senator would sign off to launch an offical investigation into African American voters who were disenfranchised.

4. You know what I'd really like to see play out?
I'm fantasizing here, but wouldn't it be so delicious--to get the "Bush lawyers" in a room with Ohio's high court doing their best Dr. Evil imitations?

Every time a Bush lawyer starts to say something, they're met with:

"ZIP IT!!!!!"

But I...

"SHUT IT!!!!

As I was tryin...

"CAN IT!!!!!!"

You can't...

"STUFF IT!!!"

This is...

"SHUT YER YAPPER!!!!"

Ohhhh....if only I were part of the Ohio High Court.

5. Spoken like the Authoritative Parent.....
"...I think we've been very quiet, we've been very patient and we've been very tolerant," Davidson said. "We've given the courts an opportunity to review these matters, but there comes a time that we say we need to accept the results and move on."

Come children (of the USofA) ... move along. We're not going to put up with your 'foot stamping' any longer. Your fears and suspicions are of NO CONSEQUENCE, because we say they're irrelevant....and (ha!) 'We're in charge' (unless somebody comes along and proves that we aren't! (and we 'mean it'!)
