Shepard Smith, hyperventilating as usual, said that the Iraqis have had a higher voter turnout in its first election than the US has had in its entire history--comparing the 72% of Iraqi votes to the 63% of US votes in 1960 election.

Uh, excuse me, Shep, but with all due respect to Iraq, the US has several million more citizens. I think our 63% dwarfs their 72% in real numbers.

I missed Shep. I've been switching back and forth trying to get an update on the Spain incident. 95% would be awesome.

And true to form, they cannot rejoice in Iraq's freedom. Instead, they malign the President, the soldiers, and claim every single report coming out of Iraq is false. Thoses people are really pathetic losers.

On Friday I bet all students in all three of my classes a dime each that the turnout would be over 60%. Not one student took me up on the bet. Even the lefties know what's coming down.

Very cool!

This stupid Lib that goes to the same Bally's where I workout was VERY skeptical when I expressed my opinion.

He asked me 2 weeks ago or so if I thought the elections in Iraq would be successful. I told him "HE** yes, they would. Didn't Bush say they were going on as scheduled? When will you Libs ever get that straight, huh?"

I few in a few expletives not in that quote, too! haha!

Think of this from the confused Libs...they said we could not, should not and would not have the election today, and even if we did(contradiction right there) it would be worthless, invalid, etc.

But if someone did not get to vote before the curfew, they will complain that those who didn't get to vote in the election that could not, should not and would not be held today and would be invalid even if it were held, have now rendered the election null and void.

I know, I know, I couldn't follow this tortured trail as I wrote this, but you know what I mean...

Well it just happened apparently. Not a lot of details yet, but they did say that wreckage is scattered over a wide area :(
