The World's Greatest Democracy: As the media pores over the ballots from Florida, in the wake of the US presidential election fiasco, one ally of president-elect Bush wants to seal the ballot boxes for 10 years, to prevent mischief-makers in the press from undermining the authority and legitimacy of the Presidency (an argument which could be summed up as "he stole it fair and square"). By then, nobody may care whether Gore would have been the true winner of the election, other than perhaps the Oliver Stones of 2010, and so there may not even be a need to have the errant ballots "mislaid" somewhere along the way.
