Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right
“call for Bush violated no ethical standards nor—as we now know—was it inaccurate. The most that could be said about it is that it gave Bush some amorphous “psychological” advantage.Any statement about an election after the polls are closed can have absolutely no effect on the vote total.
