Are we being set up with another distraction?
I mean, Rove's comments were certainly calculated to create a backlash and generate headlines.

In the meantime, what evil, disgusting acts are taking place while everyone is focused on this latest "distraction"?

6. distraction - or miscalculation?
he has been doing A LOT of miscalculating lately. Go for Social Security... error. Keep pushing for Bolton... error. Get involved in Schaivo and tie it to getting fringe judges passed... error.

He is so used to winning and going after other folks' juggulars... that he doesn't seem to be able to self-correct, or recognize anymore when his own jugular is exposed.

In this case the jugular isn't that he would be fired (no bush without rove) but that he suddenly gets into the public light enough - that the public starts linking him to bush machinations and starts recognizing bush's actions as Rovian machinations/manipulations.

The majority hates your ass.

9. True.
It is not like him to get out in front of something. He stays in the shadows.

Could be those pictures.

12. The tide has turned
These are desperate men. It's all down hill from here no matter what diversion is created.

8. It seems to be working.
All we have talked about all day is KKKarl's statement, The media was sure quick to pick up on it.
Rare for the media when this whore house makes controversial comments or actions.
That would indicate the media is on board with the scheme.

We need to steer the boat back on course with the Downing Street Minutes.

10. Maybe torture photos or Supreme Court's decision today
The latter especially has my mouth agape -- property can be seized against the owner's will -- for PRIVATE development? What country am I in again? China? Russia? (I'd better watch out -- I may have to do a "Durbin" ... )

14. This is serious
and must be all over the media. Wait until ordinary people realize their property can be seized. Add this to the grab for social security funds and expect things to get real ugly. Kent State will look like a block party when Americans really understand what's going on.

16. I'm with you there -- my heart literally skipped a beat when I read it
this morning. It was one of those "Alice in Wonderland" moments that seem to be coming more and more frequently these days.

13. Everything they do is a distraction...
Flag amendment, Biden, Rove... Every fucking thing they do is a distraction. From what you ask?

They are distracting us from what they are really doing - looting our treasury, the war in Iraq, the tax cuts for the rich, legislation favoring corporations, destroying our Constitution, and removing our liberties, and most importantly, distracting us from the Downing Street Minutes.

What we Dems should be doing is pushing impeachment with DSM, stop the hemorrhaging treasury, and legal and fair elections. Period.
