Blacks are so handy. With 40% of poll respondants saying that Bush did not win legitimately, and another 7% unwilling to say, one may think that we have a real legitimacy crisis. Never fear, though. Just point out the opinions of blacks, and then call them "resentments", and what started as a coup ends up as (yet another) mark of deviancy of an officially designated deviant population. The problem is not the laugability of our so-called democracy but rather the subjective state of "them". Factor out "their" resentments, and everything looks nice and stable.
