I know Bobert, I know. Hell, even Peter Jennings, Mr. Mainstream Media Head coming to us from Baghdad last week said "The Bush administration is expected to declare the Iraqi elections successful, regardless of the outcome..."

But still the dumbasses get all nostalgic and teary eyed about how lucky the Iraqis are that we "liberated" them from tyranny (uh, so what about that martial law thing?) just so they could vote for nothing.

Now everybody wave your US flags and repeat after your fearful leader:

"we are hearing the voices of freedom ringing" in these "free elections".

Actually, these Iraqi elections cost WAAAAY more than the US elections. Billions and billions and billions of dollars more than US elections.

But hey, purty soon we'll have 'em trained to vote just like we do, and we can cut those elections down to maybe say, oh $100 billion a year or so.
