Moving On - Not

Mick Dumke's piece "It ain't over in the 49th Ward" in Clout City (at The Reader web site) is worth the read, primarily for the absurdities of the pro-Moore comments. My own comment: "It is fascinating to watch people who still insist Bush "stole" the election in 2000 complain about Gordon v. Moore. Are you now willing to finally "move on" regarding 2000?" Moore said Gordon was "casting aspersions" on officials with the board of elections and the Cook County state's attorney's office. "I'm not surprised, given the scorched-earth campaign he ran," he said. "Don Gordon gives new meaning to the phrase 'sore loser.'" So, I reckon the hypocritical pro-Moore gang would just as readily call Al Gore a "sore loser" for delaying the swearing in of President Bush by two months? CORRECTION: Thanks to Hugh, who pointed out an error. President Bush was sworn in on Saturday, January 20, 2001. I should have said that the transition period was delayed by a month. The 2000 election was on November 12, but Al Gore did not concede until 8:56 p.m. on December 13. Historically, that month would have used by the current president and the president-elect to affect a transition; that is, the current president briefing the president-elect to get the successor up to speed.
