Jackson shouldn't be saying stuff like that, but actions speak louder than words. And when it came to counting votes, the Republican party took action when it, er, counted. You'll like this bit, Jackson even gets cited explicitly.
Sometimes it’s the same lawyers. Theodore Olson,
consigliere to Ken Starr and now to James Baker, is
admitting that the demonstrators were choreographed by
the GOP to pressure the local canvassing boards, the idea
being to beat Jesse Jackson and Alan Dershowitz at their
own game. Very clever. A bunch of screaming people
(most smiling for the cameras) can disrupt and delay better
than a series of motions filed in court.
And it worked. Instead of staying outside the county
building, as required by law, the demonstrators stormed in,
stoked by Cuban-American radio. The canvassing-board
members can be excused for feeling intimidated; unlike the
rest of us, they have to live with the explosive and abusive
politics of Miami. It’s the Paris Commune meets “Miami
Vice,” with Bush (or is it Elian Gonzalez?) as the dauphin. msnbc.com
It's a joke. W will be in, with whatever "legitimacy" Scalia can bestow. But it would seem perfectly reasonable to me if Democrats give him somewhat less "legitimacy" than the Republicans gave Clinton.
Cheers, Dan. |
