Gore Lawsuit Challenges Australian Election Results |
2004-10-09 |
Scrappleface Alert!Just hours after the polls closed across Australia, and Prime Minister John Howard headed for his fourth term, former U.S. Vice President Al Gore filed a lawsuit in international court at the Hague alleging "irregularities" in the balloting. The election was seen by many as a referendum on Australia's participation in Operation Iraqi Freedom and the subsequent efforts to bring democracy to Iraq. Mr. Howard's opponent, Mark Latham, had promised to withdraw Australian troops from the Coalition. |

#9 "Gore is becoming the white folks Jesse Jackson." But Jesse Jackson's just a hustler and shakedown artist, whereas Al Gore is gonna be led away in a straitjacket someday. We're talking two VERY different things, here. |

#3 Wait, wait, wait a minute. I thought a Rantburg blogger said AlGore had a team of lawyers going to Afghanistan to contest the Presidential election. Australia too. Gore is becoming the white folks Jesse Jackson. Did Jimmy Cracked Carter monitor these two elections for hanging chads? Is Carter still seeking outside monitors to monitor the US election? That's all we need is some clown from "bo fung junction" to monitor our election. |
