Let's ask the Chimp Twenty-one Questions....
Edited on Thu Jan-22-04 10:10 PM by TruthIsAll
Mr. Bush, a few questions:

1.Why did you resort to stealing the election?

How Jeb Bush Stole the 2000 Election for His Brother
Ex-con game: how Florida's "felon" voter-purge was itself felonious; Annotation; election law; Brief Article
By Greg Palast

In November the U.S. media, lost in patriotic reverie, dressed up the Florida recount as a victory for President Bush. But however one reads the ballots, Bush's win would certainly have been jeopardized had not some Floridians been barred from casting ballots at all. Between May 1999 and Election Day 2000, two Florida secretaries of state--Sandra Mortham and Katherine Harris, both protegees of Governor Jeb Bush--ordered 57,700 "exfelons," who are prohibited from voting by state law, to be removed from voter rolls. (In the thirty-five states where former felons can vote, roughly 90 percent vote Democratic.) A portion of the list, which was compiled for Florida by DBT Online, can be seen for the first time here; DBT, a company now owned by ChoicePoint of Atlanta, was paid $ 4.3 million for its work, replacing a finn that charged $ 5,700 per year for the same service. If the hope was that DBT would enable Florida to exclude more voters, then the state appears to have spent its money wisely. Two of these "scrub lists," as officials called them, were distributed to counties in the months before the election with orders to remove the voters named. Together the lists comprised nearly 1 percent of Florida's electorate and nearly 3 percent of its African-American voters. Most of the voters (such as "David Butler," a name that appears 77 times in Florida phone books) were selected because their name, gender, birthdate, and race matched--or nearly matched--one of the tens of millions of ex-felons in the United States. Neither DBT nor the state conducted any further research to verify the matches. DBT, which frequently is hired by the F.B.I. to conduct manhunts, originally proposed using address histories and financial records to confirm the names, but the state declined,the cross-checks. In Harris's elections-office files, next to DBT's sophisticated verification plan, there is a handwritten note: "DON'T NEED."

2. If only the media would ask him ONE good question.
Only once has he been asked about charges of 9/11 foreknowledge, and that by accident in a December press conference. The reporter thought he was lobbing Bush a softball, but Bush's eyes darted, he looked cornered, he stammered and was tongue-tied through an uncomfortably long silence. Uncomfortable for him. And he needs to be made to feel more uncomfortable, more often, and intentionally.
