Better Late than Never
This title could of course refer to the New Orleans debacle, which is becoming more outragerous by the hour. As if the sheer incompetence of the response was not enough, now we learn that the president had the temerity to use a fake levee repair as a prop for his trip, courtesy of
Americablog.
Actually, the point of the title is to change the subject, and point out that indictments were brought at long last in Cuyahoga County, Ohio -- as covered by the
Cleveland Plain Dealer and the
Bradblog -- for improperly rigging the recount in the Ohio presidential election. Those who read my report on the Ohio election saw that we had solid evidence of recount fraud in Hocking County -- compliments of the heroic Sherole Eaton -- and elsehwere thoughout the state, thanks in large part to the tenacity of Green Party observors. This is why I was so relieved that Sen. Kerry opted to remain a part of the recount lawsuit. While it won't change the election, the pending recount lawsuit will help us find out how things could have been so rotten in Ohio, and work to make sure they don't happen again. Not suprisingly, the indictments were brought by state officials -- the federal prosecutors have yet to show any interest in protecting voting rights.
