Iraqi Vote Blah Blah Blah

Is there anyone else out there who is sick to death about hearing about the impending Iraqi election? Well, snichols is. She knows it perhumps (as her grandmother used to say) doesn’t speak very well for her, but she is sick of it anyway.

For one thing, the chart on the front page of the Sacramento Bee today told snichols more about the Iraqi election system than she’s ever seen explained in any newspaper about the American election system.

Every single time this completely farcical election is reported upon as if it’s anything less than a completely farcical election, the reporter is effectively hiding the truth about the war in Iraq.

And the degree to which the media have been predicting violence in the elections tomorrow for months prior is the degree to which we’ll be treated to a raft of news stories tomorrow with headlines such as “Despite Predictions of violence, millions of Iraqis vote” or “Violence breaks out during voting, as expected” instead of the only possible acceptable headline to snichols:

“TRAGIC AND HORRIBLE DEATHS ACROSS IRAQ TODAY DURING LUDICROUS SO-CALLED ELECTION PROVE BUSH ADMINISTRATION HORRIBLY HORRIBLY WRONG”

Back to you.
