So, what Bush crisis is the post King funeral furor covering up?

[HereSince1628]

It's ok to be pissed about the phoney indignation.

But if someone happens to read or hear something about Abramhoff, or Fitzgerald, or the global attack bomber force suddenly lifting off from Louisiana, please post it.

1. Possibly covering up Rove blackmailing the Repubs on the

Senate Judiciary committee?

8. I'd go with that one

ANYTHING really except "real news." :eyes:

2. The furor is over the truth being told and they can't cover....

it up, so they blame the Democrats.

4. It's a strange attractor in the chaos of partisanship

3. So the tree fell?

Even though we haven't heard it?

6. I expect the r's to take advantage of so many diverted eyes...

We are likely to get a Friday-like news dump today.

5. The crisis of truth being told to the emperor....

Why this truth thing might catch fire and actually wake people up. They MUST quash it out immediately--deny it, denigrate it...Truth is like a cockroach to the thieves in power.

7. Here's my psychic spidey sensens saying something to me...

Those churches burning in Alabama WILL be found out to be racially motivated.

That's my "Friday-News dumP" prediction.

Every city/county they've mentioned (on the headlinng CNN story )of a church being burned down in is +80% black.

9. Sounds like a reasonable possibility.

10. Not to go totally tinfoil on you....but....

I completely agree that the faux furor is a diversion....here's my take:

Bush wasn't scheduled to attend the funeral. The decision was made hastily on Saturday afternoon(?) and other trips were rescheduled. The White House knew damned well what kind of reception Bush would get...they also knew that Gonzo's performance before the Senate was going to be bad news...they didn't know that leaks about Rove's blackmail would be coming out..they did know that the information about Newsweek would be breaking on Monday...

In other words, they knew there would be plenty of bad news out there and figured that they could play the righteous indignation card to cover it...

The faxes were ready to go.

The meme was already spread.

what we're seeing today is a well-coordinated attack...(see the post about alleged "Afro-Americans" calling in to Bill Bennett's and Laura Ingraham's radio shows..see Miles O'Brien, Imus, Chris Mathews, Kate O'Bierne...)

It's ALL COORDINATED PEOPLE.

It's a diversion all right...maybe just from all the scandals...maybe something more...

but it WAS PLANNED....IT WAS PLANNED.
