Note: The term “re-elected” implies he has already been elected. ;)

Eh...
No, “re-elected” means that he has been elected once, and now hes trying to
get re-elected. Actually, im not entirly sure if he WAS elected once, but
i guess that term will have to suffice....

I think that was the gist of Scott’s repetition of the Left’s tired “joke”.

In the UK, the Left, Right & Centre enjoy a chortle at Bush’s electoral
credentials (and his intellectual abilities). From an international PR PoV, Bush
has been a disaster for the USA. He has destroyed a great deal of the
international respect the USA had.

Har, Har, Bush was selected, not elected. The fact is, however, that
Bush’s “selection” was a result of Gore contesting the election. Had not
he gone to court, Bush’s election would have stood. That the Supreme Court
“selected” Bush is entirely the result of the Democrats. And then they cry
that Bush was “selected”, not elected. Whatever.

Wow... but why no mention of the role Bush’s brother played in this story? When
you read about that and the other hocus pocus you’ll see that using the term
“elected” is a little dubious!
I fear you may get a re-run of this story next year come election day:
CEO lobbies for Bush
while seeking contract to sell voting machines
“to show that Republicans will truly stop at next to nothing to win elections
and hand the keys of the national treasury over to their fat cat donors - there
is Walden O’Dell, the CEO of Diebold Inc. Diebold is the company that wants to
get the contract to provide and program voting machines in every state for the
2004 election and O’Dell is raising money exclusively for President Bush and the
Republican National Committee (RNC). O’Dell, in a fundraising letter on August
14th, committed “to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president
next year” according to the Associated Press. In the 2002 election cycle,
O’Dell gave $5,965 to the RNC while Diebold gave the RNC $95,000.”
In the words of Joe Stalin:
“Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide
everything.”
I hope WC gets the democratic nomination; I hear that the election will be
billed as “The General v The Coward” or “The General v Draft Dodger”(1)
