Now that the turnout had been high enough to become difficult to deligitimize, some on the left will have to turn elsewhere for cynicism and criticism. Here is your challenge- Be the first to find a left-wing pundit or blogger who states some version of the following-
“It’s amazing. Bush can run an election in Iraq, but he can’t run a fair one here in the United States.”
-or-
“I don’t trust the results in Iraq. BushCo are masters at fixing elections.”
If you are giggling, it is because you know someone will say it.
As an extra challenge, look for press attempts to change the story. I just heard a reporter on MSNBC state that now the problem is that the turnout was so high that Iraqi’s don’t believe the results. I couldn’t believe my ears.
