"Kerry Conceded Too Soon, Jackson Asserts"

Should've read: "Kerry Conceded Too Soon, Jackson Asserts (Jackass Alert)."

[lwoodham]

There used to be in place a system for taking care of this kind of problem.

[upchuck]

"Kerry conceded much too quickly, before the facts were in," Jackson said in a conference call with reporters to discuss an ongoing challenge to Ohio's election results.

This is a perfect time for me to humbly request y'all read my tag line. That is a paraphrase of a quote (tag can't be more than 100 characters :) from Mike Adams.

It works pretty well here, doncha think?

Susan Estrich or whatever her last name is. What a wicked witch voice and ugly too ;-)

Jacka$$ is just making a few more beans for his rainbow push.

And the rest of the looney left is just living up to there name.

The show should be fun for the next few weeks as we win win win again again and again :-)

Sigh--time to bring back the late Mr. Zappa: Rhymin' Man, Tall and tan, Rhyme or reason, Play your hand -- Rhyme on this -- rhyme on that Oh, you naughty Democrat! They say when Doctor King got shot, Jesse hatched an evil plot, Dipped his hands in the Doctor's blood, 'N rubbed his shirt like playin' with mud Looked around for all the press 'N said: "Check me out, my name is Jess! I'll be known from towns 'n farms -- Doctor King died in my arms!" Rhymin' Man, Tall and tan, Rhyme or reason, Play your hand -- Rhyme on this -- rhyme on that Oh, you naughty Democrat! A few years later, legend says, Rhymin' man made a run for Prez Farrakhan made him a clown, Over there near Hymie-Town Said he was a diplomat -- Hobbin' an-a-knobbin' with Arafat Castro was simpatico, But the U.S. voters, they said: "No!" Rhymin' Man, Tall and tan, Rhyme or reason, Play your hand -- Rhyme on this -- rhyme on that Oh, you naughty Democrat! Okay, here we go again! Rhymin' Man says he's your friend Any fool can make a rhyme -- Cowboys do it all the time People say: "Now he's mature!" Cowboys rhyme that with horse manure Horse manure! That's for sure! You been cheatin' -- We kept score! Are you "this"? Or are you "that"? Oh, you naughty Democrat!

Actually, Kerry conceded about 12 hours too late. It was clear on election night that he lost, and he should have graciously conceded right then.

[alnick]

There was some nutjob on H&C last night, who served in the Clinton admin BTW, who was arguing with Colmes that Kerry won Ohio. Colmes basically told him he was nuts. He insisted that any day now we'd see, proof would be forthcoming that Kerry won Ohio. Alan was upset because he feared that his party would be perceived as lunatic sore losers.

[Lazamataz]

Well, that settles it. Kerry won. Bush should pack up and just go home. And any Republican Senators and Congressmen that won, probably didn't win. They should just go home too.

I can't believe we lost another one! DAMN!

[Lazamataz]

And the rest of the looney left is just living up to there name. The show should be fun for the next few weeks as we win win win again again and again :-)

It's the gift wot never stops giving!

[JZoback]

Excellent point

For instance, if a candidate 'concedes' and turns out actually to have won, what does it mean?

Nothing.

Exit polls also are meaningless, as are preelection polls, networks "calling" states for candidates, and all the other ephemera of American elections in the 21st Century.

The only thing that matters is Congress counting the electoral votes.

[MinuteGal]

"Kerry conceded much too quickly, before the facts were in", Jackson stated. "When he pulled the plug, the national media left as well."

Man, this says it all, doesn't it?

In a rare and uncharacteristic lapse in judgement the media pulled out without waiting for marching orders from its national chaplain, the Rev-rund Jesse Jackass.

Hahahahahah....

Why not a top 13 chart? If yes, include also Bruce Springsteen, Howard Dean and Al Gore. Decide for me their position. They have to disappear, that's all. Thanks in advance.
