Credit Where Credit is Due
President Bush was unaware of the pending sale of shipping operations at six major U.S. seaports to a state-owned business in the United Arab Emirates until the deal already had been approved by his administration, the White House said Wednesday. - WAPO
See the Domocrats always get sucked into the specifics and think that the issue is really the point. Republican understand politcs, hoever, and they know that they just have to keep the balls in the air. So now every question becomes "What did the PResident know and when did he know it?" Never do we discuss the issue itself. Never do we say, "Mr. Vice President did you authorize the leak of Valerie Plame's name." "Mr. President why was the federal government so slow in responding to the Katrina disaster and would the response have been so slow if the affected population had been white?" ?Mr. President, if you are thinking of cutting off Aid to Hamas because you believe it promotes terrorism, then why would you make a deal with a state from which many of the Sept. 11 hijackers originated." "Mr. President, what are your plans for the war in Iraq and where are the weapons of Mass Distruction you cited as the cause for war."
Nope. The question is, "What did the president know and when did he know it."
Simple. Pointless and yet a point on which press flacks can be voluble and intent.
Which just goes to prove that developmentally this is a country of babies who can be distracted by a rattle. But you know what. When baby gets hungry enough there is nothing you can do but give it what it wants.
Baby wants the truth and baby wants the troops home. Baby doesn't give a shit who knew what when. Baby knows now and baby wants it fixed. If only the press corps cry like baby all these weapons of mass distraction would be useless.
But for now the Republicans are mastering the twin arts of distraction and deception. Oh were this only a game instead of the future of the universe!
