If I were going to control and manipulate you all, I would be sure to have a renegade buffoon barking in the center ring with a rather skillful group of thinkers, planners, and doers apparently acting independently to execute the game plan.
By having them out in front, few people would suspect the sheer finesse and functionality of such a ruse. Obviously, you are going to look at and hate Bush. He was probably briefed on this from day one, or before he took the office. Meanwhile, he looks like a puppet in comparison to his Cabinet. Of course he does! So who would suspect that the Cabinet is performing the very same function for the public eye? Well, that's a ridiculous notion, is it not?
Think back at all the lies that have worked so well and remember that they don't take breaks or vacations, ever. This is serious business and the stakes are high. There are millions to manipulate and mistakes are not allowable or forgivable, as in chess. Once you own the media, and the production and flow of money, then your titular game show host is a mere trifle that can serve a dual purpose: Loved by those who believe and aspire towards the bullshit, and hated and despised by those who see the bullshit and need something or somebody to blame it on. A human face is the first thing a baby recognizes a reacts to. It seems to the the thing that even mature, thinking adults will become obsessed with also.
America must grow up and see the relationships here and that the Executive Branch does not act at all on its own, it is merely a very practical extension of the media show that directs and manages public opinion in potent and frightening ways.
Impeachment is fine with me and would be enjoyable and a much needed catharsis. However, there will be no public flogging, prison sentences, or executions involved. My fear, is that it will only serve, once again, to distract a population who is increasingly, (though begrudgingly) becoming aware of what's going on behind the precise, methodical spectacle they are allowed to see.
