No integrity here either.

(On the other side of the Canada/US border)

You said:

>>Integrity? Surely you jest...crooked, manipulative, malicious, etc., etc....but no integrity there

We are having an election here too, and it is getting downright ugly.

I guess this is what Gore meant when he said the tone needs to be improved:

Gore Campaign Threatens Harris with 'Whitewater-Style' Investigation

The Gore campaign ratcheted up its attempts to intimidate Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris Thursday, with chilling new threats of a "Whitewater-style" investigation should she succeed this weekend in certifying George Bush as the winner of the state's vote.

MSNBC reporter Chip Reid explained the Gore campaign's plan to blackmail Harris to the network's Brian Williams Thursday night.

"Let me tell you, though, Brian, if they do not succeed here, there was some interesting, even chilling, talk today from the Gore campaign. I talked to some aides there.

"One said that if George Bush does win and wins with the help of Katherine Harris - and Katherine Harris, they believe, will throw more roadblocks in the way and will do everything in her power to certify the election in favor of George Bush and do everything in her power to make sure that that happens. They said that if George Bush does get into office with her help, the investigation into her role in this entire situation will make Whitewater look like a picnic.

"So they are already planning for the possibility that they lose here and this turns into some kind of massive investigation after the fact. So the ugliness would continue long after this is over."
