"In the year that has passed since the 2004 election, not a single major American news outlet has published a serious investigation of whether the victory was properly awarded to George W. Bush. Is that because Bush won fair and square and, as a spokesman for House Speaker Dennis Hastert put it, only the "loony left" claims otherwise? "

"So what was House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.) doing on the stage at the West Front of the Capitol yesterday administering the oath of office to Vice President Cheney?
Hastert seemed a bit tense reading the oath to a relaxed Cheney. Could be because Cheney had done this before, but it was a first for Hastert."
