Ukrainian Knockouts

The ongoing election dispute in Ukraine seems to have no end in sight, as the presidential candidates, pro-Russian hardliner Viktor Yanukovych and progressive reformer Viktor Yushchenko (I know, their last names sound like a David Letterman routine from the Oscars!) have failed to come to any kind of agreement on how to resolve it. George W. Bush, who's no stranger to disputed elections, has urged that the will of the Ukrainian people be acknowledged. Is this the same George W. Bush who got into the White House with five votes from the Supreme Court?

The best thing I can say about this crisis is that it makes our elections look good. When it comes to voter fraud, the Ukrainians, well, really knock me out.

And they sure do leave the West behind. :-D
