Lewis Black's take on it:


It's really phenomenal, I think, that we're bringing democracy to Iraq. I can't wait to see how we do it... What, do we give `em our Civics books?...

"Read this! It's crackerjack material! We're gonna be back next Thursday. We'll give you a test."

Apparently Florida sent `em voting machines.

It's just amazing. I think 30% of us vote. And we're gonna teach the world about democracy? The other 70% of us just go, "Well, f__k it!" How does a group of people in which 30% of us actually spend the time enjoying the democratic process tell another country about democracy?

"Like... Boy it's really great, cause you don't have to f__kin' do it!"
