ABC News and the missing Americans

This would be absolutely hilarious if we were not talking about a major news oulet like ABC News.

In this article a group of no less than 13 ABC News reporters tells us that "this is now John Kerry's contest to lose."

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but reporters are supposed to find out the facts and relay them to us. To this end the intrepid ABC News gang set out to find if there were any "American[s] who voted for Al Gore in 2000 who is planning to vote for George Bush in 2004."

Guess how many missing Americans the entire group of 13 ABC News reporters found? ZERO.

So confident are they that the ABC Newshounds even offered a challenge by leaveing an email address to contact them if you are one of these missing Americans.

Forget the fact that that we still can't find a single American who voted for Al Gore in 2000 who is planning to vote for George Bush in 2004. (If you are that elusive figure, e-mail us and tell us who you are and why: politicalunit@abcnews.com.)

So, where is the humor you ask? Here

Now, for the first time in my life, I am going to vote for a Republican candidate for president, the incumbent, George W. Bush. I voted for Al Gore in 2000. I was one of the few Democratic leaders who supported Gore in the 1988 presidential Democratic primary when Michael Dukakis received 45 percent of the primary vote in New York City, Gore 7 percent, and Jesse Jackson carried the City with 46 percent. - Edward I. Koch, former mayor of New York.
