Start of Roberts hearings eclipses Katrina (as well as everything that came before)

the strategy is working, just like it has worked so very well since bush took office... replace hot issues, particularly ones that are causing george and karl problems, with something else... here's a short, admittedly non-comprehensive and non-sequential list... see if it triggers any memories...

  • the failure to apprehend osama bin laden at tora bora...
  • no wmd...
  • bush suspending the geneva convention for detainees...
  • torture and obscenity at guantanamo and abu ghraib...
  • granting halliburton no-bid contracts seemingly in perpetuity...
  • filling countless executive branch vacancies with party-loyal, litmus-tested, political hacks...
  • eroding civil liberties under the patriot act...
  • general ricardo sanchez' perjury before the senate armed services committee...
  • the downing street memos...
  • karl rove outing valerie plame and assassinating joseph wilson's character...
  • colin powell lying in front of the u.n...
  • pat robertson's call for the assassination of hugo chavez while bush solicits donations for his foundation...
  • extraordinary rendition...
  • cindy sheehan...
  • criminally bungled federal response to hurrican katrina...
  • bush's failed presidency and free-fall in the polls...

maybe it's the sheer volume of outrages... maybe it's our hypnotized press... maybe it's our sedated citizenry... maybe there's something in the water... all i know is there's no end in sight...
