Reuters ADMITS SCOTUS announcement a scandal deflection!
"Sources said the timing of an announcement had been moved up in part to deflect attention away from a CIA leak controversy that has engulfed Bush's top political adviser, Karl Rove...."

from:

"Duh!" - I know. But it's funny to see the press explaining how easily distracted they are.

1. By the way....
It's hilarious that the name of the person who's supposed to distract us from the leak scandal has itself been leaked all over the place....

8. Or as Dumbya would say...
"Fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again."

5. How come we knew it would happen (a distraction)
before it happened???

Seems that CCB still thinks the average American is stupid as hell.

12. they were beginning to sound like they were serious about pursuing the
karl rove leak....and nothing seemed to distract them from the bill clinton/monica lewinsky story ... but, maybe they want to get off the rove story as much as bush wants them to.

;-)

11. Um, gee,...common sense sorta' dictates that conclusion. DUH!
Is this the kind of shit which I'm supposed to appreciate from a free press? Why are the American people treated like they are something shy of total idiots?

Good, grief!!! *shakes head*
