...manual recount of 14,000 disputed ballots is justified. If Bush can counter that over 1 million votes need to be manually recounted, there will not be enough time to count the votes before the electors must vote on Dec. 12--Bush will win by default. Pretty clever Dubya, a great way to win an election indeed. What was that you said about being "a uniter and not a divider...

...least one gag. Neil Bush, the former President's sweetest son by far, is also the most naive about politics. Neil was the one who got badly tangled up with some crooked Colorado bankers 10 years ago and never knew what hit him. One afternoon, out by the pool, Dubya and Jeb walked out, saw Neil and began talking loudly about a long list of crazy, outrageous things that just had to be in the convention speech. Pile 'em on, said Dubya. Let's do it, said Jeb, both men pretending to sound like political terrorists rather than the caretakers...
