Re: Is the U.S. election a big news item down there? Do most people there see it as you do--as underhanded and corrupt? You bet! However, most people in Europe scoff at the rigged election by the self-proclaimed champion of Democracy in a self-delusive manner.... Like most Americans, Europeans take the farcical Florida Discount at face value --they scornfully watch the Floridian ballot canvassers on their TVs and they say, "Geez... those yanks ain't able to pull off their own foremost election!" Of course, the media don't mention Bilderberg, there's no hint about W. Bush's would-be black Kissingers --nobody's heard of Condi Rice and Powell's still believed to be in Ryiadh.... Besides, Europeans can't push their luck too far in exposing the American skulduggeries because they've had their own, domestic election scandals: >In Italy, where elections in the South are merely contracted out to the mafia; >In France, where there's evidence of wholesale ballot-rigging in Paris (cf the so-called Affaire Tiberi and the Méry videotape); etc. Gus.
