USATODAY.com - U.S. extends support to Georgian government:

The Bush administration had been highly critical of Shevardnadze's government in the three weeks since supporters of the president were declared winners of parliamentary elections.
The administration said Thursday the official results of the election 'do not accurately reflect the will of the Georgian people' and said the polling was marred by 'massive vote fraud.'

irony is not dead, people. just in case anyone wasn't sure.
