you know what was really interesting to me last night was dan rathers
interviews with warren christopher and james baker. it went like this:
d.r. to w.c. - if bush wins the recount, will you walk away and allow the
thing to end?
w.c. - well now...let me back away from that question for just a
moment....the ballots used in florida were illegal..blah blah blah blah spin
spin spin spin
dr. to j.b. - if gore wins the recount, will you walk away and allow the
thing to end?
j.b. - yes, but we're going to win the recount.
no blah blah blah, no spin spin spin. i actually think dan rather was trying
to figure out what to do when someone answers a yes or no question with a yes
or no. and i'm wondering how many thousands of people didn't vote on the
panhandle of florida because it was announced that the state had gone to
gore? i don't see that being talked about on this list.
