Howard Dean is effective, but like many other things, the Republicans, unable to admit his suggestions that they use FNC as propaganda, and are a predominantly white elitist group, use him as a distraction.
“Howard Dean was mean to us” is a better headine / 24 hour hews / talk radio / blog bloviation cycle than dealing with the Downing Street Memo.
The Michael Jackson court case and watching Tom Cruise self destruct are better conversation than the President’s least watched press conference and the public’s growing mistrust of his movtives for going to war.
When you don’t want to be the party that refused to declare lynching of African Americans as, you know, maybe a bad thing, beat the drums on Flag Burning. Isn’t our soldier’s mistreatment of the Koran at Guantanamo … the same offense? Oh well, that’s okay because (insert shiny distraction here) … “Did you hear Saddam Hussein likes Doritos”?!?
Gay marriage is a distraction. Terry Schiavo is a distraction. Senator Durbin’s comments were a distraction. A sleazy book about Hilary Clinton (that even Conservatives disavow as a crude, disreputable, poorly-sourced mudslinging screed)? Topic changer du jour.
Health care? Veteran’s Administration funding? Third World Debt Absolution? AIDS? Public Education? A growing dislike of America by the world community? Outsourcing? Sorry, you’re just too boring. Can we get a sexy blonde in here to discuss being mistreated by people on the other side?
Welcome to world inside a bottle of Coca-Cola. Fizzy, caffinated, and syrupy but after the quick fix wears off, bloated, empty calories, wanting more of the same, and headed for diabetes.
