Is the SCOTUS Pledge case another brilliant Bush ruse?

[Atman]

Here's today's crazy conspiracy theory, brought to you by the people at BushCo, Sewing the Seeds of Trust Through Lies(TM).

The Bushista Court plays along and tosses a bone to the left, thereby "proving" it is not aligned with the Bush WH -- it rules that "God" must come out of the pledge. The trouble is, something like 98% of Americans already voiced their outrage that this was liberal hatred of religion and it started a huge national debate. Remember? It wasn't that long ago.

So, the SCOTUS manages to throw the Bushistas a sweet honey-dripping campaign issue, while at the same time appearing to demonstrate it's non-partisanship, thereby robbing the dems of their arguments that the court is a rubber stamp for BushCo's right-wing agenda. Meanwhile, the country erupts into hellfire and damnation and the hatred is ratcheded up a notch as them damn liberals are blamed for bringing about godless blah blah blah blah and the downfall of America. (Oh, the irony!)

This isn't good, and I'm afraid it is very likely. Be afraid...sometimes what you want isn't really what you want.

1. You may be right, but please cease and desist using Brilliant and

Bush in the same header!! No chance. Rove is the brains. Not great brains, just devious. Bus*, in case there is any doubt, would make Gilligan look like the professor were they to meet.

2. You beat me to it.

There should be some sort of local DU ordinance forbidding the use of the word "brilliant" and the name "Bush" in the same sentence.

3. Brilliant/Bush

The ULTIMATE oxymoron.

4. Not out of the question

Your chain of events/motivations are certainly not too much of a stretch.

Maybe.

5. It is rather a clever ploy

Bush would definitely incite his supporters with red meat like that.
