1. The Mainstream Media benefits most
They get some sex war-porn to put on television that isn't being directly blamed on the administration (yet).

2. GOP gets diversion from failures
and their patrons get to make a lot of $$ on arms sales to Israel AND Arabs.

It's a two-fer for the GOP

3. Mel Gibson.
Given a choice between news and coverage of celebrity antics, the American peoples' choice is well known to adverstisers.

"As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron." - H. L. Mencken
