Bush's lightning-quick changes-of-subject

you gotta laugh... delay gets indicted and takes up prime front-page space and lead story status across the nation, if not the globe... so, whatazza the bush do...? changes the subject and nominates harriet miers which, in turn, takes up prime front-page space, etc., etc... oops...! now, miers has become a lightning rod so, whatazza he do...? changes the subject AGAIN by giving yet ANOTHER recycled speech on iraq, trying to stoke people's fears all over again... but, guess what... the far right, the hard-core movement conservatives that bush has promised so much to, much to george's dismay, don't give a shit about anything else except the fact that they DIDN'T GET THE PROVEN FAR RIGHT IDEOLOGICAL CONSERVATIVE APPOINTMENT TO THE SUPREME COURT THAT THEY HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR FOR OVER 25 YEARS...! And, boy, THEY ARE PISSED...!
A day after Bush publicly beseeched skeptical supporters to trust his judgment on Miers, a succession of prominent conservative leaders told his representatives that they did not. Over the course of several hours of sometimes testy exchanges, the dissenters complained that Miers was an unknown quantity with a thin résumé and that her selection -- Bush called her "the best person I could find" -- was a betrayal of years of struggle to move the court to the right.

let's see how many times he's gonna try to change the subject if he or some of his inner court get slapped with indictments by patrick fitzgerald...

shit happens, george...
