George Bush has suddenly become a great believer in exit polling -- in Ukraine, that is. The surprise triumph of Russian favorite Viktor Yanukovych has transformed the skeptical Bush into a veritable John Zogby. Now, the chagrined President is threatening to take "concrete measures" unless election results aren't revisited. It's the opening volley in a confrontation that threatens to revive the cold war mentality of East against West.

Needless to say Bush's newfound passion for exit polls hasn't carried over to our own "homegrown" polls; most of them have been dismissed by the administration as "wildly inaccurate".


Got this at the Chimp. There were no links to any quotes so I can't verify the story but boy hypocrisy and irony are running rampant today...

1. The evil empires

The United States, Ukraine, what is next, United Kingdom. It would seem that democracy is no longer about the voice of the people, but the control of a select few. If election tampering can occur in modern countries, who really thinks that elections in Iraq and Afghanistan will have a shred of legitimacy.

3. Electoral Validity

...surely our friends in the UN will guarantee that...

Won't they
