1. You mean someone is taking a 2nd look
at the guy in charge of elections also being the co-chair of Bush's reelection nightmare?

Get outta here...

9. Not more on Diebold, but like Diebold.
anyway, i'm not gonna 'splain it all here since that's giving out the story, just wanted to put up a teaser to look for it. no need to hit back until after 9 for a little more details, and about 10 - 1030 for the story (and the document in question ;)) -- thanks.

3. I know Blackwell's trying to duck prosecution
and even answering questions, claiming immunity. I also know that Bushco is trying to get a lawsuit dismissed.

They're scared, folks. They know full well they cheated. They're terrified that the story will get beyond the net and into the MSM if this suit goes forward and Blackwell is forced to answer a few hard questions.

6. They even tried to get a ruling
that because Blackwell is a 'high' public official that he shouldn't have to talk to lawyers.

I'm still ROFLMAO over that one.

12. "Your Honor, I move that my client be excused from any testimony,
because, Your Honor, he is high.

However, if it please the court, he would like to submit this written statement: 'Peace Out.'

The defense rests."

10. The rumor is that Blackwell failed an FBI background check in 2001...
...after he was offered a federal job in the Bush administration. So he opted to stay in Ohio.

Thus far he's been able to keep his skeletons in the closet, but the guy's made SO many enemies-- on both sides of the aisle, frankly-- that the info is starting to leak out.

11. Was it for his membership in the KKK? 'Cause they did give him a nice hat.
Kidding folks, don't worry, he's black and they don't let black people in the KKK.

Well, they let them 'in', but they don't let them 'out', if you know what I mean.

15. Clinton's "high office" didn't exempt him from having to answer questions-
of course he's a Democrat and everything bad that happens is his fault...
