about all those extra voters...

Today's message from the Iranian leadership:
Statistics provided by the candidates, who claim more than 100 percent of those eligible have cast their ballot in 80 to 170 cities are not accurate — the incident has happened in only 50 cities.
Only 50 cities? And it just accounted for 3 million votes? Anyway, we shouldn't worry (as Foreign Ministry spokesman, Hassan Qashqavi, pointed out), because it's just like that American election in 2000 and no one encouraged Americans to take to the streets (which perhaps begs the question "why the hell not?"). And yes, in case you were wondering, the Iranian governmen does appear to have just held up the Great Satan as a paragon of electoral virtue.

God, what are those opposition protesters complaining about... ?
