The old Jim Baker/Roger Ailes trick on Faux and Friends
This morning, the whole outrage was "Wow some friend" not the other two issues regarding pot and Bush acting "political". The whole lets play the morality card. Similar to what Baker and friends did to DavidStockman. "Shame on you mister Stockman" "we trusted you" "we are going to make you apologize" blah blah blah blah

3. Not surprised! And meanwhile, in a smaller, teapot-sized tempest,
MD Governor Ehrlich and his little helpers the freeptards (including freeptard NCPAC, named Joseph Steffens, who was an aide to Ehrlich) are now trying to re-frame the issue in THEIR little story.

Their story was: NCPAC, a paid shill, was going on freerepublic and spreading innuendo about Ehrlich's probable Democrat opponent, Mayor O'Malley of Baltimore. (Had O'Malley not been a public figure, in the legal sense of the word, he probably would be filing a defamation suit against Steffens about now.)

So the freeptards, including NCPAC/Steffens, and their party friend, Ehrlich, all had egg on their face when their little gossip-spreading scheme was revealed. So NOW they are putting it out that it was DEMOCRATS (under the freeptard posting name of "MD4BUSH") who "set NCPAC/Steffens up."

IOW, caught in lying and cheating, the repukelicans resort to... more lying and cheating, to get out of trouble.

Regarding the tapes of Bush's conversations with this old friend, yes, the repukelican LIARS can spin it as "wow, some friend", BUT.... BUT.... BUT.... WHEN THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HEAR BUSH'S OWN VOICE SAYING HE'D SMOKED MARIJUANA, IT WILL HAVE A STRONG EFFECT! It's one thing when a close associate says, "He used to say this", or "he used to do that", but when people hear it in BUSH'S OWN VOICE, they consider it PROVED! (As well they might.) That will bring this story back to its proper perspective.

Of course, all this depends on whether or not repukelican forces do not get to this friend and suddenly cause him to "commit suicide", as so many who've spoken the truth about the Bush crime family have had done to them. Or maybe they'll actually let the guy live--and just steal and destroy the tapes!

6. Heh heh... It's hard to "shoot the messenger", when the messenger
is their beloved fuhrer himself!
