You don't want to have him completely give away where he first picked up this story, do you? ;-)

41. It was clever -- he basically said, it may have began as tin foil but
now it is moving into mainstream media. He sent up a flare to the rest of the ilk.

26. congressmen asked the GAO for an investigation
Rep. John Conyers Jr. (D-Mich.), the ranking minority member of the House Judiciary Committee, yesterday asked the Government Accountability Office to investigate these and other irregularities and to suggest improvements.

"The essence of democracy is the confidence of the electorate in the accuracy of voting methods and the fairness of voting procedures," Conyers wrote to the GAO in a letter also signed by Reps. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) and Robert Wexler (D-Fla). "In 2000, that confidence suffered terribly, and we fear that such a blow to our democracy may have occurred in 2004."

she said she's gotten a ton of email, but nobody at the homeland security lockdown precinct supposedly had a single complaint or email about the action.

60. No - we didn't give up on Olbermann. He's the only one worth watching on
MSNBC or CNN. Olbermann rocks and he definitely rocked tonight. Let's hope the rest of the cowardly newscasters have the guts to report the story of the FRAUD.

62. For those unfamiliar with Olbermann, he's always been snarky.
This is one very intelligent dude, consistently able to detect and describe BS. He's as fair as they come on TV these days, I think. But the snark is just his style.
