Depths. Heights.
Once again, I am watching today's presser, the President of the United States of America telngib the press that he said Donald Rumsfeld was going to be continuing in command of the Department of Defense ... because if he didn't say that, they'd go on and ask him other questions that were inconvenient. Not one of the member of the press pressed him on why it was all right to lie to the press, and thereby the public.
What are we to think of anything else the PUSA said? It was convenient at the time.
There you go again, admitting that you are not going to tell the truth if its not going to be in your best interests. The public is supposed to know better than to believe you. If it votes for you, it's just as unwise, you, PUSA, are admitting that.
Also just watched the 2004 Media head of the Bush campaign say that 'opportunities were not taken to the full' on ethical questions, that's why we have ethical problems. Excuse me, I've been here for the past six years. Tom DeLay broke laws, and the Ethics Committee tried to change its staff and leadership so that no one on the committee would be the sort of person who took anyone to task for those silly lawbreaking sorts of things. Given the power to do that, the GOP used its power to make a mockery of the laws put in place to make this government ethical.
Things like this have made their impression:
"It doesn't matter that Bush scares the hell out of me," Hersh answered. "What matters is that he scares the hell out of a lot of very important people in Washington who can't speak out, in the military, in the intelligence community. They know in ways that none of us know, the incredible gap between what is and what [Bush] thinks."
Remember October 11, 2004? Those of us who read, heard, knew that it was terrible and wrong, are vindicated now and hopefully the depths of ignorance will never be plumbed again.
The American public has had to vote out the lawbreakers, because when it elected them it had the intention that they should make and enforce the laws, and they wer unworthy.
Silly old American public.
My faith is restored in Democracy.
