Let’s Leave Fraud to the Professionals; Isn’t That Why We Elect Them?

Now for something absolutely hilarious. When I was on ABCNews.com, I was reading the transcript of an 01 November interview Peter Jennings had with Kerry. The intention of Kerry’s statement seems quite clear, but his phrasing is unfortunate and highly amusing.

JENNINGS: What have you done, as the leader of your party, to make sure there will be no fraud?

KERRY: There’s not going to be any fraud on our part. That’s the job of election officials.


(Note: the rest of his answer, none of which related to the unintentional election official humor, can be found at the link.)
