  23. So, you believe that if George Bush used his own money to sponsor a
  24. championship basketball game he would have won the election???
  25.  
  26. And someone lets you use a computer???
  27.  
  28. Sven, Bush would not have won if he had; and the Yugo president did not
  29. win because Fischer played there.

  31. (Reminds me of a biteer Canadian who commmented that the only reason
  32. Mulhroney won last time was because we Americans elected Bush...what
  33. a hoot!)
