Most of you probably saw video, either live or tape delayed, of a big yellow Ryder van rolling through the Florida countryside, it's every move tracked by flocks of pursuing helicopters, as a cargo of disputed presidential ballots moved from Palm Beach County to the Florida state capital of Tallahassie. And you probably saw that people flocked out to the freeway like lemmings, attempting to get on camera, and to snap pictures of a slow-moving rental truck that outwardly showed no signs of being any different from hundreds of other rental vehicles on the road that day.
But what you may have missed in the non-excitement of this staged non-event was the Associated Press wire report that turned to O.J. Simpson for commentary on the sluggish motorcade.
"In my case it may have been a little more intriguing because people didn't know what was going to happen," said Simpson of events six years ago. "Here they know the ballots are going to get to Tallahassie." (from AP wire report)
That will be the ultimate legacy of the 2000 presidential election; whenever there is a slow moving vehicle being shown on television, O.J. Simpson will be there to give color commentary on the progress of the event. America can't distinguish notoriety from celebrity, so we're going to have to endure two score years listening to happy newstalk blather from a man that most people think commited a double homicide every time you see some sort of caravan on television. 'We got us a convoy', indeed. How do you think they handled that big turn coming off the freeway, O.J.? Would A.C. have tried to make that light?
Too bad the suck-ups at AP don't have the guts to call the Juice up every time some poor women gets Ginsu'ed by her jealous psycho-maniac of a boyfriend and ask him to compare and contrast it with the murder of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman.
