Over ten days after the election was declared an unmitigated success -- and some wimped-out liberals immediately began changing their wooly little minds about the war -- we still haven't had any official results announced. And all sorts of shenanigans seem to be going on, of the sort that, if they had happened in Ukraine, say, there would have been an immediate outcry in the West, with all the usual suspects palavering about 'election fraud' and sneering at the legitimacy of the entire process.
... With the U.S. handing out Cabinet posts, and still only vague promises as to when the actual election results are going to be announced, we have the right -- nay, the duty -- to ask: what's up with that? Except nobody's asking it: not our mainstream journalists, and certainly nobody in Washington, which is still preoccupied with an orgy of self-congratulation...
