What is subby, a grandmother? What a boring, unprovocative, and predictable headline. I don't even care about the story, I just want to make fun of Ric Romeromitter. Seriously, could you be any more pedantic>

Wow... the U.S. meddling in another country's elections, a MILFtacular president, and Hugo "Don't Pronounce the H" Chavez all in one article? If only this thread could have been Clinton'd in the Boobies, we'd have it all.

QU!RK1019: the U.S. meddling in another country's elections

Did you RTFA?

I guess this just represents our changing shift of foreign policy, from pissing off the other nations by invading them to pissing off other nations by making statements that will have no bearing on anything except our deteriorating relations with said nations.

Yes I did. I'm so sorry that my joke didn't represent the story accurately.

FTFA: "U.S. prosecutors say participants in Argentina's election broke American law."

Does... not... compute...

Why should I care how other countries run their elections? Did they turn down a Diebold contract or something?

I believe the problem is that some parts of the conspiracy (and subsequent intimidation of witnesses) took place on American soil (Miami, if I remember the story I heard this morning). That's what makes it a crime under American law. I might be completely wrong.

From TFA
Argentina's new president reacted furiously Thursday to accusations by U.S. prosecutors that an intercepted suitcase full of cash from Venezuela was meant to finance her election campaign, calling the charge "garbage in international politics."

Why on earth would the Venezuelans funnel cash from Venezuela via Miami to Argentina? That's quite the detour...
