My major reason for guffawing in derision about the notion the Russians 'threw' the US Presidential election. There's a lineup of usual suspects. I'm sure pundits will manage to stretch results from the fishing expedition to justify the stupidity ( and the punishment of Russia without any real grounds ) of the fairy tale ; but could anyone really tell the result among all the domestic vote bending tactics even if the story were true? I wonder what Karl Rove is doing these days.
