AGN sneers at your right to vote

In what has become the standard format for the Amarillo Pravda News' "Monday Briefing", this little gem popped up this AM. . .

. . ."Much ado about nothing: Forget that plans for President Bush's inauguration are all but done, and that John Kerry wanted nothing to do with it, U.S. Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones, D-Ohio, and U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., still wanted Congress to hash it out over the presidential election. Congress wasted four hours Thursday debating and posturing over electoral votes because Tubbs Jones and Boxer, a Californian standing up evidently for all none of her Ohio constituents, protested alleged voting problems in Ohio. When the disenfranchised duo finished, Congress certified Bush's 286-251 electoral victory. Next on the agenda for Tubbs Jones and Boxer - tackling other foregone conclusions such as the curvature of the Earth and Auburn University's claim to a BCS national championship." . . .

So take that all you pansy Liberals who think people's votes should actually count! Congress took a whole 4 hours out of their busy schedule writing legislation for the cronies who own them to talk about every Americans right to vote! Darn them!

Sigh . . . Except it was not 4 hours . . . it was 2. The two houses broke off to debate apart from each other so the AGN said 4 hours to make it seem worse. And there was nothing alleged about the people who got screwed out of their vote last Nov. 2nd. Watch it for yourself CLICK HERE

What is the point of the AGN's sneer? A variation of the Sore Loserman crap from 2000? Who knows. But does the AGN serve it's readership well with such a poke in the eye to half its subscribers? Or by putting such an important discussion at the BOTTOM of a poorly written UNSIGNED column?
