bizarre endorsements for bush

ap story:

Bush wins election endorsement — from Iran
FROM ASSOCIATED PRESS
TEHRAN, Iran — The head of Iran's security council said today the re-election of President George W. Bush would be in Tehran's best interests, despite the administration's axis of evil label, accusations Iran harbours Al Qaeda terrorists and threats of sanctions over the country's nuclear ambitions.
Historically, Democrats have harmed Iran more than Republicans, said Hasan Rowhani, head of the Supreme National Security Council, Iran's top security decision-making body.
"We haven't seen anything good from Democrats," Rowhani told state-run television in remarks that, for the first time in recent decades, saw Iran openly supporting one U.S. presidential candidate over another.
Though Iran generally does not publicly wade into U.S. presidential politics, it has a history of preferring Republicans over Democrats, who tend to press human rights issues.

"Please, don't vote for our cousin!"
We thought we had already seen the most bizarre endorsement of the race -- but this one is right up there. Second cousins of George W. Bush, clearly selfless in their willingness to relinquish any chance of ever being invited to sleep in the Lincoln Bedroom or ride on Air Force One, as long as their cuz is president, have endorsed John Kerry and established a Web site: www.bushrelativesforkerry.com.
