4. How the Senate Intelligence Committee report and the Lord Butler Report in England discredited Joe Wilson's charges against the Bush administration regarding Iraq seeking uranium from Africa.

WHERE IN THE WORLD?

I was fortunate enough to get tickets to the Economic Summit in DC...but when I got there guess where I got to sit since I work at the Small Business Administration?

On stage with BUSH!

If you go to C-Span and click on the Day 2, Part 2 link for the Economic Summit, you will see me in the first three seconds of the clip in the blue suit right above the president's head (first row).

I also met Elaine Chao (thanks for the spelling correction, Pat) and her parents! I got a picture of that and will post it once it's developed (I had to use a throwaway!).

 
Swiftees Yet Again Maligned

This time by Mary Beth Cahill, Kerry's campaign chief.

Cahill said the Swift boat ads show the power of news coverage, particularly cable news stations, which she said amplified the ads by running them repeatedly.

She said it was frustrating that the first ad continued to eat up so much air time even after the central allegations were debunked.

"For me, this was a very big change. The fact that it was disproved and it was still shown every day as part of the (campaign) coverage," she said.

Debunked? I can come up with five examples where the Swiftees were proven right and Kerry's version of events was proven wrong. The only debunking going on was by the Swiftees.

 
Nope, It's Not Nostalgia



It's Ohio, yesterday.

Jeannette Harrison, middle, observer for the campaign of Sen. John Kerry (news - web sites), D-Mass., and Denise McCoskey, right, observer for the campaign of the Green Party presidential candidate David Cobb, watch as ballots are recounted at the Hamilton County Board of Elections, Wednesday, Dec. 15, 2004, in Cincinnati.

 
This'll Crack You Up

A tribute to the John-Johns by a disappointed Kerry fan. Lots of schadenfreude watching.

It'll Be Awhile Before We See Another Candidate Do This

 
Moron That Faithless Elector

The Strib says it was definitely done in error.

One of the 10 handwritten ballots cast for president carried the name of vice presidential candidate John Edwards (actually spelled "Ewards" on the ballot) rather than Kerry.

"I was shocked ... this will go in the history books," said Secretary of State Mary Kiffmeyer, who presided over a ceremony that normally is uneventful.

Kiffmeyer said she was unaware of any other such apparent mistake in Minnesota, although there have been cases in other states of "faithless electors" casting ballots for candidates other than those to which they were committed.

Electoral voting in MinnesotaRichard SennottStar TribuneThere was stunned silence after the announcement that Edwards had gotten a vote for president, but none of the 10 electors volunteered that they voted for Edwards as a protest, nor did anyone step forward to admit an error.

 
Be Careful What You Wish For

You might just get it. Tim Noah wrote last week about faithless electors to the electoral college. Sure enough, one showed up in the Minnesota delegation.

A Minnesota Democrat put an unexpected twist on Monday's Electoral College voting by casting a ballot for vice presidential candidate John Edwards over presidential nominee John Kerry.

JOHN-JOHN: No one claimed credit for the Edwards vote, and the prevailing attitude among Minnesota's 10 electors was that someone mistakenly mixed up the two Johns on the ticket.

Can we say the obvious here? Only a Democrat could have "mistakenly mixed up the two Johns on the ticket."

 
Kerry's Lawyer Wants to See Ohio Non-Votes

Sigh. It never ends.

Democrat John Kerry is asking county elections officials to allow his witnesses to inspect the 92,000 ballots cast in Ohio in which no vote for president was recorded, a Kerry lawyer said Sunday night.

The request is one of 11 the Kerry campaign made in a letter sent over the weekend to Ohio's 88 county boards of election, which will begin recounting presidential ballots this week.
