Stupifying Season of Divertissement

The War Party is gearing up for a long, hot season of distraction. As the government stumbles on with one scandal, failure, and disaster after another, they'll begin to trot out the stupid wedge issues to try and distract the sheeple. And they'll succeed on the face of it. There are legions of dead-from-the-neck-up Faux news watchers who'll gobble it all up.

The whoring media is positively guaranteed to treat us to a slew of crap leading up to the next stolen election. Get set for plenty of race baiting via the immigration issue ! Rev your engines over proposals to have the national anthem only sung in english ! Hey, we still haven't decided one way or the other about gay marriage ! Start some popcorn as we get pummeled with that hoary old favorite - a flag burning amendment ! Don't forget abortion !

Throw in a few missing white women and there you have it - one big Hamster Wheel of a summer.

Bush the Liberal?

Desperate to explain away Commander Codpiece's approval evaporation, that's apparently the right wing talking point. Michael Savage (nee Wiener) says he's a "liberal dressed in conservative clothing". The CSM runs Bush's Surprising Liberal Legacy. Jonah Goldberg at the National Review continues the theme.

But Glen Greenwald at Unclaimed Territory slices and dices this idiocy. See, when the Codpiece was up in the 70 range in polls he was the epitome of Manly Wartime Decider, a true - blue conservative. Only smelly liberals inhabit his flirting with 20s terrain.

Maybe a terrorist attack will happen to take our minds off it all?

I'd bet the farm on it. Complete with "proof" the muslims did it, of course
