One more reason on a long list of reasons why Pat Riley annoys me:
Our unathletic President ... After presenting the President with a honorary Heat jersey, Pat Riley baffled everyone by saying, “I voted for the man. If you don’t vote you don’t count.” That's funny. And the Pope said I don't get into heaven if I don't believe a magical old man in the clouds made me out of monkey bones. What did the Pope and Pat Riley do to warrant that kind of authority?
(about two minutes into this video).
I guess that quip especially true in Florida: if you didn't vote for Bush, your vote didn't count.

The closing remark, "Everybody knows not everyone's vote counts in Florida" or something like this still stings down my spine. I will never getover the drama from Nov. 2004 to Jan. 2005. There are people who think Gore got too many accolades. Excuse me?
