One of the great comments

Ever over at Balloon Juice about Republicans and their constant claim of voter fraud (i.e. patent racism) as it worked out in Washington state and the firing of U.S. Attorney (and Republican) Tom McKay:

So after a close WA governor’s race in 04 ended with their guy down by just 129 votes, the truth channeling Pubs just knew voter fraud was the cause. But that bastard McKay declined to get involved in a state race. Just as bad, the Republican SecState in WA also didn’t see the outrage.

Not to be deterred, the Pubs brought in their best legal minds, their best Jack Bauer investigators to correct this injustice. Smart, strong, they filed in a conservative county getting a Republican judge. The big boys were bringing their known truths about voter fraud to the light of a courtroom. Months later, the net result?

But after spending millions of dollars, months on investigations and two weeks in trial, the net result for the Republicans today was that Rossi lost four votes from his total, pushing Gregoire’s margin to 133.

Seems four convicted felons admitted voting for their guy. Bush too. LOL. The damned activist judge gave evidence more weight than known truths. So, apparently McKay was fired because he didn’t see the brilliance in spending months and millions to lose four votes for one of their own candidates.
