ONE week ago I wrote a piece that said that much of the world was getting to terms with the fact that President George W. Bush is a fraudulently elected nitwit.

I didn't waste my time last week on this bilgewater. But I'm tired of these self-appointed gits who insist that Bush somehow "fraudulently" won the election. We elect through the Electoral College. Bush received the majority of votes in the Electoral College, period.

The Florida fiasco was not President Bush's fault, and no matter how many times morons like this say it, the truth does not change. Listen carefully: BUSH. WON. THE. ELECTION. IT'S. OVER. IT'S. BEEN. OVER. FOR. NEARLY. TWO. YEARS. GET. OVER. IT.

Whether you think the man is a 'nitwit' or not is your business. I happen to think the former occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania is a rapist who got away with his crime. Next...

This time the inbox showed 674. By the end of the week there were more than 1000. The hatred and invective was quite staggering. Then I found out what had happened. I had been picked up by the Drudge Report, the website started by a right-wing zealot called Matt Drudge.
The report ran the column and then Drudge read selected bits of it on his US national radio program, urging listeners not to let me get away with it.

Welcome to the media of the future.

You are welcome to think what you want. You are welcome to write what you want. No one is stopping you. But when you get under the skin of those that know how to use the medium, don't be surprised if they use it to let you know that they think you are full of used food.

You obviously weren't prepared for the resources of those of us who think for ourselves, as opposed to the folk that you are used to dealing with. You know...the ones who you tell what to think...

When it happens again, don't say you weren't warned.
