Post-Election Day, 2004: Pt IV
This is the point that is getting lost in all the Bush victory hoo-ha. "The people have spoken." No, Georgie. HALF the people have spoken. The other half still can't stand you. "Bush won the majority of votes." Ehhhhh....I wouldn't consider a 3% victory a majority (actually only 2% if you count Nader's 1%). That's a majority like women are the majority of the population. That's more like...an edge. That's like winning by a nose in a horse race. Like the gold medalist finishing 0.05 seconds ahead of the silver. And it is not, by any stretch of the imagination, an ass-kicking. Let's keep that in mind before we start rubbing noses, people.
