WELL Well Well...

Hey, whaddya know: Chief Justice Sandra Day O'Connor is starting to regret her vote that put Dubyanuts in the presidency:

Looking back, O’Connor said, she isn’t sure the high court should have taken [Bush v. Gore].
“It took the case and decided it at a time when it was still a big election issue,” O’Connor said during a talk Friday with the Tribune editorial board. “Maybe the court should have said, ‘We’re not going to take it, goodbye.’”
The case, she said, “stirred up the public” and “gave the court a less-than-perfect reputation.”
“Obviously the court did reach a decision and thought it had to reach a decision,” she said. “It turned out the election authorities in Florida hadn’t done a real good job there and kind of messed it up. And probably the Supreme Court added to the problem at the end of the day.“

Counter-facutals are pointless..of COURSE the world would be different today if  the election hadn't been stolen  Gore had won. Maybe better, maybe worse, who knows.  And of course the more principals that are on their deathbed meeting their maker the more gee whiz, they MIGHT have fucked up confessionals going on. Hmm.

Bush being elected is  something the hundreds of thousands of people that have died because of his Iraqi invasion/panicking over 9-11  a joke we've all had to live with. Hey, get over it, people.

The saddest thing, to me, is that the 2004 election officially made me give up on rock 'n roll changing the world, since even Bruce pimping for Kerry couldn't move the fucking needle. Wow. People really are, in a word, terrible.
