That's exactly what's needed; a media feeding frenzy that shows up somewhere besides C-Span and may even penetrate the thick skulls and dense cerebral cortexes of Mr. and Mrs. American Chowder Head. I guarantee you these people do not spend their days glued to C-Span and parsing every little nuance or raised eyebrow for hidden meaning.
Much more likely to cheer as Jack Bauer puts another slug into the kneecap of some poor bastard who's accused of being a "terrorist" -- whatever the hell that means these days -- and who won't talk because he doesn't know anything. But Jack isn't about to take silence for an answer, so he decides to use some of the "enhanced interrogation techniques" John Yoo spent months legitimizing. It's not actually torture unless the subject dies, apparently, at which point it's not torture either because a corpse feels no pain. Voila! Torture is therefore impossible.
Of course corporate media will do its level best to defend the Bushies. Of course Fux will say bad things about Conyers. John, a tip for you: They're going to say bad things about you no matter what you do. Might as well give them something real to talk about.
And despite their laziness, incompetence and compulsory Bushie boot-licking, mass media will cover impeachment hearings. They'll spin their coverage in predictable directions, but the word "impeachment" will be featured prominently and frequently.
They're not going to cover another useless investigation that's designed to accomplish nothing of substance, assign no blame nor determine accountability, where no witnesses even bother to show up because subpoenas are useless without inherent contempt backing them up. Does that sound like a news-worthy event?
Because democrats remain absolutely ignorant of how to manipulate mass media to their benefit, or even how to create news themselves rather than waiting for the GOP to do something so they can react with feigned outrage, Conyers can make these childlike statements about the horrors of creating a media frenzy. He seems to think he lives in a country that values honor and decorum and dignity. However, he's actually living in America.
Does he think that in a country that invented American Idol and Dancing with the Stars; pays Limpballs $50 million a year to spew nazi scumbag hatred; invented greaseburgers; sees nothing wrong with being the world capitol of morbid obesity; deifies Russert and Helms; thinks B. Clinton is an ultra liberal; seems to actually care about what celebrities think; thinks St. Raygun was in full possession of his faculties; where more than 90 percent profess some sort of affiliation with an external deity; where Darwin is a dirty word; where patriotism is measured by magnetized ribbons decorating SUVs and little toxic made-in-China-by-slave-labor flag lapel pins ...
Does that sound like a country that's big on class and dignity? Then why does Conyers fear a media circus? This country lives for wretched excess that creates media circuses. TV has taught the vast majority that if it's not a media circus, it's not worth paying attention to.
John, if you're reading this, my rates are usurious but competitive and my results are, in all cases, far superior to the non-performing bullshit you're getting from the nitwits you've got posing as "strategic experts" now. If I were that useless and inept, I'd have had to give up this cushy consulting gig and get a real job 15 years ago.
Meanwhile, let the media circus roll and send in the clowns -- starting with Rove and working your way up to the rotting head.
