Faux indignation

[BeyondThePale]

I think that the loved ones of service members in Iraq have a hell of a lot more to be indignant about with shrub than the Cheney family has to be indignant about with John Kerry!

1. You're absolutely right

Hell they (the media) are acting like Mary Cheney was not already "out." As Jon Stewart put it, Mary Cheney is the only lesbian in America it would seem. The attacks about Mary Cheney are from Rove to distract attention away from the Shrub's horrible debates. Nothing more...nothing less.

2. it worked didn't it

...that's what is so irksome with this hypocrisy laden republican "unity." By all accounts, the story that should have been blanketing the news was the story of Bush telling a bold faced lie at debate 3 about the Bin Laden statement, "never said that...exagerration...blah blah blah" IT was the defining moment of that debate. They knew that and as usual have nothing of substance to refute it, hence the suddenly thin skinned Cheneys, after a lifetime in politics, are outraged that JK mentioned the "l" word. Talk about a cheap, tawdry political trick... I go to Wash U in St. Louis and my pol sci professor (local dem politician) was at spin alley during second debate. He described how the debate was obviously going badly for RW. Journalists were there watching, when 3 or 4 Bush operatives, Rove may have been one, met each other in the middle of the room and started high fiving and "acting excited" for the press. To create the illusion that things were going great for team Bush. Our so called "journalists" don't need much more to sway them. This Cheney story is just another example of lazy journalists dropping the ball and keeping the real story from the American people. How do you say "bullshit" in French?

3. It's pathetic

Sometimes I have to ask myself if I am just some political genius able to see through the Rovian tactics, but I am not. It is just that many in the public are so gullible.
