Ladies and Gentlemen -- The AP weighs in

<snip>By MALIA RULON, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - The senior Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee (news - web sites) protested President Bush (news - web sites)'s re-election Wednesday with a new report claiming serious election irregularities and "significant disenfranchisement" of voters in Ohio. <snip>

Patsy's Comment: Also, in the words of the great George Costanza: "Remember Jerry, it's not a lie if you believe it:"

<snip>
Carlo LoParo, a spokesman for Blackwell, called the report "ludicrous" and a waste of time and taxpayer dollars.
"There are absolutely no grounds for challenging Ohio's electors," LoParo said. <snip>

No Senator in story, but Conyers alluded to a Senator on Randi!

edited for typos, cause I can't type.
