3. Al Franken's doing his best and even Bill Maher.
CBC had an interview with Bill Maher and Kate O'Beirne last night about the American election. Maher was very critical of Bush, pointing out all the reasons he was a terrible President and all the reasons he shouldn't be elected in November.

Kate, who is supposed to be a *cough, cough* democrat was certain that Bush was going to win because he projected himself as a person that would keep Americans safe. Why doesn't the Democratic Party send these DINO DLCers packing? They can form their own party, like Ross Perot did. I hate it when they get a platform to speak for all of us and they are really only speaking for a small group.
