I never disputed that.  

What I said was that Bush had a disregard for the legitimacy of
democratic institutions (like elections).  Bush didn't care who had
more _actual_ legally cast votes, only that he "win".  Well, by hook
and by crook, he did "win".  I dislike him because he didn't care
about the votes.  To me, someone who cares about democracy, not caring
about something so fundamental is worthy of contempt.  I'd feel the
same way if the tables were turned.

Eerily enough, the same issue is coming up in Iraq.  Bush doesn't want
elections, he wants something more controllable.
