Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide is out -- and says that the mean U.S. Marines forced him out in a coup d'etat. The Congressional Black Caucus is screaming bloody murder that a "democratically elected" president was ousted.

If Aristide was genuinely re-elected, as critics of the Bush administration claim, then any lame claims of President Bush being "selected, not elected" are henceforth disallowed. Bush's claim to legitimacy is a million times stronger than Aristide's.
