Just came to mind - is this Rovian strategy to get Cheney off the news?

[NRaleighLiberal]

Create an internal controlled conflict, flood the news with it? Seems to be the basic strategy of Bushscandalgate - just keep em coming folks....no time for any to stick, need to make room for the next one!

1. no. if it were manufactured, it would be a win-win cultural debate

such as flag burning or gay marriage. these guys don't look good having internal squabbles about security.

2. Of course! Another blunder by the administration to take people's

minds off of the Cheney blunders.

3. Of Course! Everythings A Conspiracy! NOT!!!!!!!!

Oh for heavens sake seriously? I mean, seriously???? :rofl:

Yeah, they just put all the documents, studies, communication and planning together in the last 4 or 5 days just to get Cheney off the news. They're just brilliant! :rofl:

6. Was mostly kidding....but you have to admit that this bunch just ROLLS

in scandal....lately, they can't get out of their own stumbling way.

8. I think it's more that they've spent so much energy propping up their

multiple, various incompetancies - and they're running out of energy. It's all starting to fall down around them.

he would have been better off having an indictment.

5. Or . . .

. . . were this AND the Cheney hunting incident manufactured to keep Iran out of the news?

7. Kinda like trying to build a dam with rising waves of water.

Seems to me, all this stuff has to be eating away at the banks of his support.

If one atrocity or screw-up doesn't get people's attention, the next one will, or the after that.

Only those (like myself) who become emotionally attached to specific scandals -- eg, Plamegate, Scootergate, Rovergate, Cheneygate -- tend to temporarily lose patience (and hope) when they get knocked off the frontpage by this Administration's other PR catastrophies.

Anyway, I know how you feel. :toast:

9. I thought the Cheney thing was

strategy to get the other stuff off the news.Now I'm confused.

10. Eh?

12. was just pondering, as Wolfie was heating up his Situation Room

with non stop Port stuff. The MSM appear to have the attention span of children (sorry to insult children, actually).
