More Hugo

Rick Moran at Right Wing Nut House brings up an interesting point. The facts on the ground suggest vote fraud in Venezuela did occur, but the spread was so great that Hugo's machine was simply unable to change enough votes / stuff enough ballots to make it come out their way. If in fact that is the case, one could expect that Hugo will do his best to improve the efficiency of his machine and make sure the numbers come out "right" the next time. Everything about Hugo indicates that he will not accept this "no" vote beyond paying it lip service for just as long as he must.

And as Rick documents, the lefty blogosphere has more then a few people praising Hugo and making unfavorabe favorable comparisons to Bush who, we are told, is a dictator and who refused to accept the will of the people. All of which leaves one to ponder whether such idiocy is learned or genetic.
