A Rovian sidelight

No doubt you are relishing, as I am, the many stories about Rove's perfidy now making the rounds. The right-wing response has been entertainingly lunatic. I wonder if their lunacy will convert the masses, as has occurred so often in the past?

One of the most delicious sidelights of the Rove affair is the strange history of his lawyer, Robert D. Luskin. According to Joshua Marshall, Luskin was paid off in gold bars (!!) to defend a criminal wheeler-dealer convicted of laundering drug money via the precious metals market. Rove revealed much about himself when he chose such a counselor. Don't miss this one!

Good question on converting the public. Here's my take. As * slips below 40% approval nationally, the public will have a very open mind to the truth about this administration. I predice that when he hit's 36%, the true story of "election fraud 2004" will break and the press won't be able to stop it. Afterall, people need to understand how we got this niti-wit; and election fraud is the reason.

Keep up the good work.

Not just the election fraud. The 9/11
story is starting to get respectable.
When you look at all the warnings that
were ignored, all the investigations that
were shut down, the failure of the air
traffic controllers to follow standard
routine procedures and call NORAD for
fighter escorts*, the complete lack of an
air defense for two hours, the changing
stories on the part of NORAD and Rummy,
the failure of the Pentagon to defend
itself, the lousy piloting skills of Hani
Hanjour--the official story is simply
unbelieveable.

*"Interception" means an escort--it does
not mean "shooting down", and it's a
routine thing that happens 50 times a
year.

You must be a nobody wingnut if you haven't had a troll before. From the conspiracy crap I see posted, that surprises me.

A life.


Get one.
