My washer isnt the only thing that has a spin cycle

[AFFIRM]

We all know by now that every time we catch the White House in some matter of wrongdoing, they simply attempt to divert national attention on to some other subject. Well, lately, Bush has come under fire for eavesdropping. So, what does he do? Start a national debate about immigration. Trust me my fellow Americans, there has been no, nor is there now, any true desire by Bush or his club, to change national immigration laws.

Today, the Senate voted to shelve the immigration bill.

Spin:
Frist stopped short of a commitment to bring the issue back to the floor during the balance of the election-year session. "I intend to," he said, but added it would depend on the schedule of other bills.


Truth:
We never planned on passing anything or changing anything to do with immigration. But it sure got you guys to leave us alone about that eavesdropping thing for a little bit.

1. I agree, it's "Wag the Dog"

They roll out the stories to divert attention from the real issues.

We hear about McKinney and the immigration issue in the media, and that's practically all we hear about, meanwhile our wonderful Attorney General Gonzalez testifies that domestic wiretapping is going on, and that Bush believes it's perfectly legal to him do so. This has nothing to do with overseas communications or suspicions of terrorist ties, it's domestic spying. Period.

Americans, it's time for us to take our country back from these thugs. We may need to follow in the footsteps of our forefathers to force the return of democracy.

2. Oh hell yes... Sadly its one of the few things they do well.

So should we start a poll now on what will be the next distraction to sublimate leak-gate ?
