BUSH AHEAD BY 433 VOTES (+91 REVISIONS)
(BROWARD G+563, PALM BEACH, G-10)

Ready to hit the ground running! Al and Joe, Policy Wonks With A Mandate! And - - they're the Good Guys!
Today, Dragon Lady Katherine Harris (R-ain’t for Recuse, you Democratic rat bastards. And the next wincing Lefty that accuses me of fixing this election better not loose their passport in Rio, if they know what’s good for 'em) is scheduled to certify the Florida election results at 5pm Florida time (currently 141 years behind the rest of the United States), even though, after spending three weeks suppressing the hand recounts in Democratic counties she has ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA who won.

Duh. Even Smirk’s not that dumb.

But don’t worry, Democratic Presidential Candidate Vice President Al Gore (D-Rule Of Law) has already promised to contest the certification, based on the Bush Brownshirts intimidating the Miami Dade County Canvassing Board out of hand recounts, a tactic many consider to be over the top, since the Bush people could just have easily contested the Miami Dade hand recount in court after it proved that the Vice President won Florida by a couple billion votes.

As a public service to everyone saddled with a dittohead in their lives who is claiming that Smirk won and Gore has no mandate, the Daily Flapdoodle liberally reprints the following letter from "The Maverick Republican" that we stole without permission from Bartcop.com’s letter page:


Subject: Facts Is Hard To Argue With If'n You Don't Use Fuzzy Math


Okay, here are the ‘hard numbers’ for the whacko right to chew on as they celebrate the anointing of the Texas WonderBoy to the highest office in the land:

According to the latest (11/25/00) numbers from USA Today, Gore has a vote total of 50,099,022 votes. That gives Gore about a 300,000-vote lead over BushBaby in the popular vote totals.

Only one other US presidential candidate in history has amassed more than 50 million popular votes – Ronald Reagan.

In his re-election bid in 1984, Reagan received 54,455,000 votes. Reagan also garnered the highest popular vote total ever as a first-time presidential candidate in 1980 by winning 43,901,812 votes – Almost 6 million votes LESS than Al Gore has gotten.

As for a Vice President running for the office of President, Gore outperformed then Vice President George Bush’s total in 1988 of 43,901,812 votes. (about 2 million votes more)

Gore also did better than Bill Clinton did in each of his runs for President. Clinton received 44,908,254 votes in 1992 and 45,590,703 votes in 1996.

In ‘landslide’ victories, Gore still received more than either Lynndon Johnson in 1964 (42,825,463 votes) and Richard Nixon’s 46,740,323 votes in 1972.

In close elections, Gore is the hands-down champion vote getter. In 1960, Kennedy won by only 119,450 votes over Richard Nixon. And Richard Nixon defeated Hubert Humphrey in 1968 by 272,415 votes.

In summation:

Largest Number of Popular Votes Received:
1.Ronald Reagan, 198454,455,000 (+4 million, rounded)
2. . Al Gore, 2000 . 50,099,022 . .

INTERVIEW WITH A RENT-A-NAZI
A Daily Flapdoodle Exclusive

Saturday I wasn’t sure whether there would be an anti-Smirk protest or not, so I went down to the Federal building, my signs made and all packed. I knew I was in trouble when I got to the corner of Wilshire and Sepulveda and this... shrub drove by.

I kid you not. It was an enormous shrubbery, about the size of Winnebago, sculpted into the shape of an elephant. It had an ENORMOUS Bush/Cheney sign on its back, like a blanket, and an American flag coming out of its trunk. (If there is anything more disrespectful to the American flag than having it coming out of an animal’s nose, I’m sure we all know what it would be, and all know it would be highly inappropriate to mention it on a family website.) It was being towed around in a trailer, up and down Wilshire Boulevard. This damn thing was not cheap, nor was it a rush job. Somebody had to either rent an enormous, preexisting shrub elephant (which is quite possible here in So Cal) or pay to have such a thing made.

So I turned onto Wilshire, hoping to find some Gore supporters to join. But if there were any, I didn’t see them. There was nothing except wall to wall Rent-A-Nazis.

They were all white (I know you’re as deeply shocked as I was), middle class looking, CLEAN protesters. Almost all of them had pre-printed signs (again, not cheap) and a number of them had American flags - - huge American flags.

And NO cops. Anywhere.

That in and of itself was creepy. There must have been 300, 400 Rent-A-Nazis there protesting. And no cops. I have never seen that happen before.

The sign most in evidence: "Sore Loserman". (The sight of this logo always sets me off, especially after some "property rights over human rights" fanatic defaced my car’s "Gore/Lieberman 2000" bumper sticker with a "Sore Loserman" sticker. Fortunately, the sticker was as weak as Smirk’s understanding of the system of checks and balances so the damn thing peeled right off without leaving a mark.) Two others that stuck in my mind for their creepy, ominous quality: "IMPEACH THE TRAITOR" with a black and white graphic of Al Gore that was supposed to look Xeroxed, but let me tell you, as someone who spent the better part of her adult life making Xerox art, this was no Xerox. It was a preprinted job, professionally done. The second, ominous sign was another fake Xerox of a ballot counter peering at a ballot. That’s all. Just peering at the ballot.

The sight of someone counting votes is supposed to fill you with rage. Think about it.

Austin, Texas: This Hero Of The Free People Of The United States was arrested by the Texas Rangers for having a "rude" sign about Smirk. Bad sign, D. Dubya. The pro-Democracy protesters outside your mansion are making the wire service again. Better hire some more Rent-A-Nazis with Grinch masks for "holiday color" to distract the Corporate Media! It's what Adolf would have done.
I drove through this packed demonstration, giving them the thumbs down. As I was stopped at the curb, I told these guys about ABC, MSNBC and CNN reporting that Bush had used hired thugs to break up the Miami Dade County Canvassing Board meeting. One guy stepped up to my window to get what I was saying. Nobody could look more average - - he was medium height and weight, in his early forties, brown hair, balding, glasses. He wore a big, warm smile. So I repeated to him:

"ABC, MSNBC and CNN have all reported that Bush hired thugs to break up the Miami Dade County Canvassing Board meeting."

And this totally average guy - - carrying his Bush/Cheney sign, standing on Wilshire Boulevard, part of this huge rally to protest the supremely evil Al Gore stealing the election - - did not even bat an eye. This charge against his candidate’s character did not interrupt his big warm smile. He replied happily:

"Do I look like a thug to you? I’m a nice guy."

At which point the light changed, and I tried to drive off. There was one gentleman (and I use that term loosely) who stepped out in front of my car, glaring at me with a level of hatred I have not seen outside the mentally ill. I politely gestured for him to step out of the way so that I could proceed. He wouldn’t, so I started to drive around him. Glaring at me, he stepped back onto the curb.

The nice guy, of course, had gone back to the curb with his Bush/Cheney sign when the light changed. His big, warm smile remained unaffected by any of this, completely uncaring that his candidate may have used physical intimidation and blackmail to win the Presidency.

So those are the Rent-A-Nazis, up close and personal. Did they look like a thugs to me? The one who was going to go mano-a-machino with my car definitely looked like a thug to me. He was the reason I didn’t stay - - because he was obviously homicidal and, as I said there were NO cops anywhere. (I may be a Democratic activist, but I make it a practice to avoid homicidal Nazis when I am alone and the police have taken a powder. Perhaps that makes me a coward. I think I am just practical.)

The other guy, the one who said he was a nice guy, did not look like a thug to me. Actually what he looked like to me was a guy I have met ten thousand times in my life, but I will let one example stand for them all. About ten years ago now, this gentleman was telling what he believed was the hysterically funny story about his driving though [insert the name of the poorest African American community in your city] and thinking that his brakes were giving out. He laughed when he realized the brakes were okay, but ended the joke with the punch line "but if I’d hit anybody in that neighborhood, it wouldn’t have been any loss to humanity".

And then he got upset when I suggested he was a racist.

That’s who this non-thug looked like to me. Just a guy picking up a check to support a fascist candidate that didn't really touch his emotional life. Just your average, every day Desk Murderer.

So why am I telling you this totally depressing story? Because while I was there not ONE person honked for these Rent-a-Nazis. Not one. The Saturday I was part of the pro-Gore demonstration on that same spot, it was nothing except honks of support - - car after car after car, CITY BUSES honked, big rigs honked, passengers leaned over their drivers to honk, people raised their fists in support as the drove by and honked, people waved their Gore/Lieberman lawn signs out their cars at us as they leaned on their horns.

But the Rent-a-Nazis got not one honk while I was there.

We are the majority. No matter what they tell us, we won.



Hey, People's Quisling Michael Moore! Still think there's no difference between "Gush and Bore"? Which one of them is renting the Photo-Op Nazis to try and blackmail his way into the White House? This is a tough one, I know. Take your time...

MENTION THAT PART ABOUT AL BEATING SMIRK
IN THE POPULAR VOTE ANYMORE).
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT
POPULAR VOTE LOOSER SMIRK?

AL'S DAY IN D.C. UPDATE: The Last, Best Hope Of The Free People of The United States and Tipper took a break from fighting off the forces of fascism which threaten our sacred Democracy to snarf chocolate chip ice cream in waffle cones.
DON'T LET THE RENT-A-PHOTO-OP NAZIS WIN THE PR BATTLE: My understanding is that there will be pro-Democracy, anti-Bush coup rallies every Saturday, to protest Smirk’s fuzzy vote count in Florida and his bogus claim that he won the Presidency already so we don’t need to see if anybody’s civil rights were violated in Florida. Click here to stay updated on participating cities and their protest locations.

Write, phone or email your Senators and Congressional Representatives -- tell them how you feel about the Florida election and what you think needs to be done to pick the next President! Especially if they are Republicans, let them know how you feel about Smirk hiring Rent-A-Nazis to force America to accept him as President! Let them know how you feel about the way Jeb runs THOUSANDS of black voters out of Florida's polls!

Al’s back in DC, on the job! Email the People’s POTUS Elect and tell him how you feel about his fight against Florida’s vote fraud and civil rights abuses! Get specific! It’s Al!

Why has the fifth column in the fourth estate insisted that Al concede an election that isn’t over - - especially one so obviously rotten with voter fraud? WHY ISN'T THE RENT-A-NAZI STORY THE TOP STORY OF EVERY NEWS CAST?? WHERE'S THE COVERAGE OF THE THOUSANDS OF BLACK VOTERS IN FLORIDA THAT WHERE KEPT OUT OF THE POLLS BY THE POLICE?? Give those weasels a piece of your mind!
