God, they're good.... In a really bad way.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

Illegal war going to hell in a handcart?

Let's hate Mexicans!

White House staff members under indictment?

Let's talk about widening the illegal war and attacking Iran!

Get caught monitoring most of the American citizenry's phones?

Let's stop them quar's frum gettin' married, Bubba!

Totally drop the ball during Katrina?

Hey, look! Those people hate Christmas and the baby Jesus!

If this administration somehow survives politically, they ought to be known as the Houdini administration. They are effing masters of misdirection.

Terri Schiavo

Swiftboaters

"Terra" alerts

Bird flu scares
