Democrats Hire Army of Lawyers for Elections

Posted by pudge on from the yeah-right-if dept.

Neil Blender writes in that the Democrats are hiring tens of thousands of lawyers to contest election results. This is nothing new, except for the apparent magnitude of it, and it gives the idea of tort reform a whole new meaning. The Republican party is relying on state parties to hire the lawyers, if necessary.

    If they had gotten all the lawyers earlier, they might have been able to keep Nader off even *more* ballots!

    That's tens of thousands of lawyers who are now too preoccupied to mess up other things.

    Remember, last time Al Gore had the army of lawyers, and Bush had a premature declaration of victory from Fox News.

    Guess who won.

    An army of lawyers.

    Hey, if you hire tens of thousands of lawyers, that becomes a veritable "army", you say? Hrm. While we suffer from an excess of lawyers in this country, we need to send tens of thousands of more personnel to Iraq in order to win...

    Could it be that the Democrats have a secret plan for how to win the war?
