Democracy Need Not Apply

I did something bad Thursday night.

I watched national broadcast news. I know, I know.

Here's what NBC Chief White House correspondent David Gregory had to say as the conclusion to a story on Hamas winning the Palestinian elections:

"... a reminder that democracy can produce unwelcome results."

Gregory was basically summing up the Bush administration's feeling about the situation.

Double standard alert!

In my opinion, Bush can't go around trumpeting his desire to bring democracy to the world if he can also say its results are unfavorable.

Democracy means the will of the people prevails. If the people want terrorists, that's who they get. Free and fair elections always turn out the way they should. Period.
