Uh, no... we on the "Left" were happy for Latham to say what he did because it was true. You only need to look at how Americans themselves have treated that imbesile war-monger Bush & Co during his second term. Also, and more importantly, Latham called the President ELECT incompetent/dangerous after what was obvious to everyone (i.e. War on Terror = BS). Howard was trying to poison the man that WOULD BE President with hyberbole and an exagerated fear of unknown "others". Think about it. Direct @ MDMConnell, #3

They simply did not win enough seats to form Government. However, it was all a slip of the pencil by an ungrateful proletariat and that just can't be allowed to stand.
