Clinton: New count would show Gore won

The insanity/inanity continues doublefold... could this be a spoof... if not, please institute this freak and his lapdog now

WASHINGTON (AP) — If every vote in Florida were counted, Vice President Al Gore would be the next president, President Clinton says, and ''America will be embarrassed in front of the world if the votes are not counted.''

Clinton offered his off-the-cuff observations to two reporters, Hilary MacKenzie, a Southam News reporter writing for the Ottawa Citizen in Canada and Stefan Simons of the German weekly Der Spiegel. They ran into Clinton at a book party in Washington Wednesday evening and engaged him in a half-hour conversation about the Florida election imbroglio.

MacKenzie and Simons wrote down their memory of the conversation immediately afterward. MacKenzie filed a story and said she was ''absolutely certain'' of the accuracy of her notes. She said she identified herself to Clinton as a reporter and gave him her business card.

''America will be embarrassed in front of the world if the votes are not counted,'' Clinton said, adding that Florida's policies allow citizens to scrutinize the ballots, according to MacKenzie.

''In a few weeks, students and their professor are going to recount all the votes in Florida,'' he was quoted as predicting, adding: ''If the votes were counted Al Gore would carry the state.''

''The president passionately dissected the minutiae of each county's votes,'' MacKenzie reported. She quoted him as saying Gore was denied the votes of Holocaust survivors living in Florida who wound up voting for Reform Party candidate Pat Buchanan because of confusion over the Palm Beach County ballot, and black voters ''who were given the wrong instructions and double-punched.''

MacKenzie and Simons said they encountered Clinton at a party celebrating the publication of ''Six Nightmares: Real Threats in a Dangerous World and How America Can Meet Them'' by Anthony Lake, his former national security adviser.

Can you come clean on this?
You are a good student of James Baker. Personally I have no intention of digging up every little bit of evidence you think you need to make up your mind. By this time anyone who doesn't have a clue about what has been happening deserves to live in the dark forever and miss their glimpse of history.

The obvious Katherine Harris artificial deadline was when she insisted that she needed the final totals before she could accept the overseas votes by law, And had the stupid idea to demand justification for any votes anyway, and rejected anything she found anyway.

You are stupid to even ask such questions!
