I agree. The Plame affair got me thinking along these lines. I know plenty of others have commented to the same effect, but I was thinking this on my own. You know how that goes - "Yeah! That's what I was about to say!"
I've always thought that the Bush Presidency is politically weak, with these CIA issues as exhibit A. This is in stark contrast to the hysterical Dem rhetoric which paints him as a fascist dictator. What are those guys smoking? Marijuana, I guess!
I'm sure they're smoking that and using stronger stuff too. But they've carefully studied their Orwell, Gramsci and Alinsky too. "Peace is war," "love is hate," etc. Remember "the worst economy in 50 years?" Even liberal Business Week now admits to a very healthy economic growth during that time. They'll get away with their self-serving lies and distortions until the public informs itself on the issues and dumps them. Not likely, sad to say.
