Just found this on ScrappleFace blog. A preview of what's to come.
Wondering where Al Gore has been, he has been lying in wait and now has arisen from the swamp.
| Quote: | Gore Lawsuit Challenges Australian Election Results
by Scott Ott
(2004-10-09) -- Just hours after the polls closed across Australia, and Prime Minister John Howard headed for his fourth term, former U.S. Vice President Al Gore filed a lawsuit in international court at the Hague alleging "irregularities" in the balloting.
The election was seen by many as a referendum on Australia's participation in Operation Iraqi Freedom and the subsequent efforts to bring democracy to Iraq. Mr. Howard's opponent, Mark Latham, had promised to withdraw Australian troops from the Coalition.
"Somebody was disenfranchised or coerced down under," said Mr. Gore, now an itinerant professor. "John Howard betrayed his country. He played on their fears. There's no way they could have re-elected him legally. We'll fight this result all the way to the U.N. Security Council if need be."
Democrat presidential contender John Forbes Kerry expressed displeasure at the Australian election outcome.
"This is the wrong election result, in the wrong place at the wrong time," Mr. Kerry said. "Think of the precedent this sets."
But today is a good day, Bush clobbered Kerry in the debate last night, the Yankees won, and I secured yet another Bush vote which I have been working on for 3 months. Thanks to "Unfit for Command" which enabled me to open up a dialog. Her husband upon returning from Vietnam was spit on. Last nights debate sinched the vote. |

Do you have a link? As for Al he is a jerk. Kerry is a jerk..I can imagine when Bush beats Kerry that Al will want to contest the election in the Hague and take it to the UN. Sick. Pathetic. 
NOTE: KERRY'S SISTER LIVES IN AUSTRALIA AND HAS BEEN RALLYING SUPPORT FOR HER BROTHER AND SPEAKING AGAINST THE IRAQI COALITION. TRAITORS! |
