CNN "whacking the Shrub" Tonight

[nradisic]

AAron Brown leading in with the Halliburton gas overcharge (robbery)fiasco, followed by the questioning of James Baker along with his long list of conflicts of interest and whether he should be used as the "consigliere" for the Shrub in the Iraq/debt forgiveness mess. I like it. The mainstream press is smelling blood and God knows the sharks are in the water. Go Dean.

3. They sure as hell don't have to worry about whacking Democrats

the Democrats are doing fine with their circular firing squad:

4. Wed. night, too

I saw two mainstream news magazine shows last night. One had a segment on all of the amputee soldiers coming back from Iraq and one had a segment on war profiteering (though they didn't call it that).

5. only question involves the echo chamber effect, and how pugs exploit it

meaning, with Clinton it was simple: Whitewater, then sex, then lying. simple, with a few offshoots like travelgate, Filegate, roselaw, etc.

then, with Gore, more of the same: liar, wooden, liar, Alphamale, liar, earth tones, liar, liar, liar.

with these criminals, their malfeasance is SO widespread, so ubiquitous, so nuclear reaction-like, that it becomes easy for the RW media to cover a story for a day or two, then go on to the next one, never allowing ANY of them to resonate in the public subconscious like the never ending anti-Clinton/Gore/Dean memes.

very clever for the pugs, very easy for the media to cover their own submission/cooperation with the Rove/Comstocks

13. pugs are good lapdogs, but.......

"I want a lapdog. I'd love a Pug, but don't know if they are as scary as some of these informational websites are making them sound. Shedding like freaking monsters, ass-ooze, infected noses from the crap that gets stuck in thier wrinkles*..."

11. yes, their tactic is to overwhelm us with scandals

so we can never focus on one for more than a day or two.

Seriously, there's about as many scandals in this adminstration as there are dead GI's in Iraq.

So like the dead GI stories, we think "didn't I see that story already?" when we're not sure if it's the same story about the same dead GI or a new dead GI.

We're all becoming deaf to the scandals, like eardrums being pounded by artillery noise.

7. Notice how they never say that Baker's law firm is representing the

Saudis in the suit by 9/11 families.

8. LOL. I like "whacking the shrub" if you know what I mean

Ahem. That is, I meant to say that this is a single incident, not a general trend. We've said "the sharks smell blood in the water" before and Bush is still here planning on getting my ex students killed.

10. har

"whacking the shrub" could be used as a euphemism for "spanking the monkey"....couldn't it?
