WHAT DOES THE UNICORN RIDER MATTER TO THE CRUSADE FOR LIBERTY?:

McCain hails Bangladesh elections (BBC, 12/03/08)

"It seems to me that with the incredible registering of 80 million people, this has the possibility of being the fairest election, perhaps in the entire world," Mr McCain said shortly before leaving the country with fellow senators Joseph Lieberman and Lindsey Graham.

Mr McCain praised the work of the country's military-backed caretaker government in preparing the groundwork for the vote.

"We show our appreciation to the caretaker government and the army for the job they have done and the peaceful transition of power that will return to the elected government.

"So I am optimistic about the result of the election."

Mr McCain said that a democratic and prosperous Bangladesh was important for the region and the world.

He said he hoped the political parties would accept results of the polls and that both ruling and the opposition parties would closely work after the elections.

"It is important for everybody to respect the outcome of the election and come together as citizens of this great country after the election is over," he said.

When MoveOn got it's wish, and we moved on from the W years, they may not have anticipated how quickly we'd move on from Barack Obama, who bids fair to be the least significant president since Gerald Ford.
