11. One of the stupidest sentences to ever appear in print:
"And the early Election Day polls, conducted for a consortium of television networks and The Associated Press, which proved largely inaccurate in showing Mr. Kerry leading in Florida and Ohio, continued to be offered as evidence that the Bush team somehow cheated."

HUH? He says the exit polls are inaccurate because they showed Kerry leading in Florida and Ohio. But that's the whole point! The idiot author is saying the exit polls are not useful as evidence the count is wrong because...they don't agree with the count. (If they agreed with the count, I suppose it would be o.k. to use it.)

He also cites the crap non-study by MIT/CalTech. See this DU thread on it here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=203&topic_id=43258&mesg_id=43258&page=

and my comments on it here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=203&topic_id=43258&mesg_id=43697

All this from the newspaper who for two years refused to acknowledge Greg Palast's investigation of the Florida 2000 felon list that cost Gore thousands of votes.
