If Reid were Rove (Regressive Antidote)
He overlooks the fact that the Dems have no media access, but besides that it's pretty accurate

Have you heard about the two American soldiers captured and gone missing in Iraq? Maybe, maybe not. Well, if Reid were Rove, you’d never hear the end of it. It would be a national obsession, just like OJ and Natalee Holloway and Paris Hilton and god-help-us-whoever-is-the-personal-story-blown-completely-out-of-proportion-du-jour – and, indeed, just like the American hostages in Iran were, all the way back in the hopelessly naive days before Reagan. It would be all hostage, all the time. ‘News’casts, especially some lefty equivalent of Fox that knew where its corporate bread was buttered, would keep a relentless clock running, and you’d never hear the end of “America Held Hostage, Day 43!”, as if two soldiers were an entire country of 300 million.
