Fred Barnes annoyed at the "poor old people" voting early.

Liberté, Egalité, Better Parking

11.01.08 -- 7:05PM By David Kurtz

Early voting forced a crabby Fred Barnes to come into contact with "all these poor old people" who were trying to cast their ballots in a crowded building with limited parking in that third world outpost known as Alexandria, Va. How dare they:

Yeah, you shithead, anything can happen: Got a bin Laden tape or an immigration case leak?

3. Just ... Wow.
It always amazes me when they're that transparent.

He of course carefully points out that *he* has a reason to vote early. *He's* going to be out of town. But all these poor old people, why... why they'd be better off voting at their *own* polling places (implying -- what are all this riff raff doing in my neighborhood and I have to rub shoulders with them).

And then he says "This early voting has got to stop!"

What a friggin' JERK!!!!!

I hope these people are absolutely and thunderously HUMILIATED this election cycle.

And for the next 50 years, minimum.

7. They have lost their minds.

I think they know in their hearts that they rode a corrupt wave to power. Now that they have been exposed, they're losing their minds.

6. yes but absentee voting is just fine
I saw it at the time and the other fellow (forgot his name) thought that early voting was just fine.


Barnes is going to have a problem with "Tuesday Voting" in a couple of days.

9. Barnes sees the writing on the wall
and knows the Pukes will have to resort to out-and-out theft to win anything in the foreseeable future.

10. Faux news commentators are all losing their minds. They have tried everything and
still these darn people are voting early and that helps Obama.
