This week's "Keen Sense of the Obvious" Award

"Saddam won a 100 percent victory in an uncontested election Tuesday to remain the nation's leader for another seven years." —CNN followed by:

This week's "Leftmedia Buster" Award

"Iraq is holding a sham election today, in which citizens 'vote' on whether Saddam Hussein should serve another seven years as president. Under the watchful eye of Saddam's thugs, these 'voters' must sign their names to the 'ballots,' and any who dare vote 'no' can expect to be executed. It's a mystery why Western news organizations insist on portraying this as if it were an actual election." —James Taranto (from The Federalist)
