In your face politics: the pushing of the proverbial envelope by BushCo

[ariellyn]

It's becoming de riguer, the ratcheting up of scandals by BushCo to levels never before witnessed.


Katrina negligence? Send in some sharp shooters to shake things up a bit, blame everybody else and then throw in a "heckuva job Brownie" for good measure.


Spying on Americans? No denial or apology. Kick it up a notch. Boldly profess to keep on doing it.


And while everybody responds in an uproar the debate moves beyond legality or illegality. In the spying case, politicians are saying that the solution should be to ask Bush to stop continuing to spy. That's all. The over-the-top behavior will be addressed, not the original sin. Just like with Katrina. Brownie became the focal point for all of Bush's sins.


With Cheney we should all be able to predict the outcome. Just like with Katrina, they didn't call the police, they're blaming the ranch owner, and, nobody's talking about the victim(s) or the disaster/scandal. Nobody notices what's being masked by the outrageous effrontery. All that is focused on is their behavior--which is then defended by the traitorous TV hacks who protect them during each scandaal.


I think it is time for a new playbook at BushCo. This one is becoming a bit worn.
