“Let me taste your tears” watch

Tim Noah, eyeing the 19th hole:

If 18 Bush electors betray both their party and the popular vote and cast their votes for John Kerry on Dec. 13when, as we Electoral College bores like to point out, the real presidential election takes place in state capitals around the countrythen John Kerry will become president.

Tim Noah, moments earlier, still going over every blown stroke at the 18th hole:

If John Kerry had gotten 118,776 more votes in Ohio, he would have claimed Ohio’s 20 electors, giving him 272 electors to Bush’s 266. For want of 118,776 votes, John Kerry lost the presidency. I’m not going to pretend I don’t still brood about this.

I wish I could be the first to say . . .

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

. . . And perhaps technically I am, but a hat tip must go to Hit & Run.
