I happened to be up last night watching the Orange Bowl. Talked on the phone with my girlfriend and she reminded me about O’Lielly being on Dave. So I watched that interview/bloodbath. Way to Go Dave!!!! Then my girlfriend called back again near the end of the interview and said that she saw a blip on the screen that 12 miners were found alive. So now I found myself switching back and forth between the game and CNN & MSNBC.
After the game – I watched some of the coverage of the mining miracle and then proceeded to sit down at the computer and check e-mail messages and see what was up on DU. I was reading all sorts of stories about Abramoff and how bad this scandal will be. Worse Than Watergate. When I caught out of the corner of my eye as I was returning to the LBN page that – wait – that 11 of the 12 were actually found dead. I immediately went back to the TV and CNN and sure enough there was Anderson Cooper holding his microphone – speechless.
Whoa - I then had the same feeling in my tummy I had when we were told * won Florida after we were told Gore won. In light of all the lies and deceptions we’ve endured since “the coup of our government in‘00” my tinfoil hat went on. It is now an automatic thing that happens to me when I listen to the news. I pondered and posted the following on DU:
"Could It Be A Rove Dirty Trick? It gives the press something to talk about to get them off of the Abramoff scandal. It lets the O'Lielly's, Insanity's and Oxyrush's the ability to dump on a democrat just like they did on the governor of Louisiana." I went on to say - "this is what we have to come to expect in *'s America."
A response to my post was as follows (so at least I knew that I wasn’t alone in my thinking). The poster responded with:
“It Ratherizes Anderson Cooper, damages the Dem Governor, VERY conveniently takes the spotlight off the Abramoff guilty plea and NSA revelations, makes the New Year look grim, and traumatizes the workers in an industry which has recently been taken over by one company and faces union weakening, doesn't it? It couldn't possibly be a Rovian trick.”
Are we being too cynical. Do I need help?
