I don’t know what he’s talking about, but as I was just delivering something to another floor, Bush was on TV giving a press conference. I walked by just in time to hear him say something along the lines of “…we’ll see what we can do about this flawed election.” My first thought — with the caveat that I have no context for his statement — is he really one to talk?

(This CNN story talks about the press conference, however, since the conference is in progress right now [2:45pm], there’s just an overview of what was expected to be talked about, but the article may be updated later.)
