RFK Jr.: 2004 Election Was Rigged!

If any lingering respect survives for Camelot despite the battering its reputation has endured from Chappaquiddick Ted and his chip off the block Patrick, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is doing his kooky best to put it out of its misery.
Flinging himself to the outer edges of the lunatic fringe, RFK Jr. is squawking that the Republican Party stole the 2004 election. In a cover story due out today from the sober and responsible folks at Rolling Stone Magazine, the noted environmentalist wacko whose field of expertise now extends to election fraud announces that Republicans prevented more than 350,000 voters from casting ballots.
Ken Blackwell — now a Republican candidate for Governor of Ohio — is the key villain in Bobby Jr.'s conspiratorial fantasies. The blackguard Blackwell allegedly used his position as Ohio Secretary of State to purge eligible voters from the rolls, make the lines long at polling centers, rig a recount, and so forth. As proof of his theories, Kennedy notes that CNN had predicted that Kerry would win Ohio, and yet he lost.
The piece is the fruit of four months of investigation, during which time Kennedy had use of the research facilities of Rolling Stone. I believe these consist of three bongs and a coke spoon.
Previous RFK Jr. research yielded the remarkable discovery that Hurricane Katrina was caused by Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour's insidious attack on the Kyoto Protocol.
