Ah I can see it now - all them international observers at the next United States Prezidential Election.

Perchance the spirit of Tricky Dicky could preside.
Lets see, from Russia there could be good ole Uncle Joe, and his sidekick Laurenti of the NKVD, from The Koreas Kim Il Sung, and his southern friend Sing Mun Rhee, from Vietnam a military pair, Generals Ky and Giap, and a military pair from South America, Pinochet and Somoza.

We must not leave Africa out of the line up, Mugabe, Amin, and Nekrumah would qualify.

And of course from euroop -......

Native observers would, of course, include, Kissinger, Timothy McVie, and David Duke.

All of which would be happy to certify that the reelection of George W Bush by a new minority, was in the best democratic ( Ooops ! I mean Republican ) tradition.

My God such a proud and mighty nation, in the past the arsenal of democracy, and to whome europe owes so much !!

Satire fails me !
