This isn’t about whether the press has a partisan bias.
To build back their ‘bottom line’, the press has to be credible.
To be credible, they have to give accurate information.
To give accurate information inevitably requires that they reveal Bush’s antics as deceitful.
Exposing Bush’s claims as fraudulent is a bottom line issue, more than a partisan issue.
No one should mistake this as a ‘left wing’ bias; it’s a BOTTOM LINE bias (as in ‘they’d like to keep their jobs).
Bush’s version is so completely out of whack with reality that it simply isn’t something people are willing to pay money to read or watch – whether it’s bullshit smoke-and-mirrors on climate change, or whether it’s the Liberty Seven. People just don’t have time for that kind of bullshit, and its a perilous business model going forward.

I suppose that’s good news…?

Still, the idea of Bush in drag as Lady Macbeth trying to dry wash the blood off his hands….umm, yeah.

“Come, you spirits
That tend on mortal thoughts! unsex me here,
And fill me from the crown to the toe, top-full
Of direst cruelty; make thick my blood,
Stop up the access and passage to remorse,
That no compunctious visitings of nature
Shake my fell purpose, nor keep peace between
The effect and it! Come to my woman’s breasts,
And take my milk for gall, you murdering ministers,
Wherever in your sightless substances
You wait on nature’s mischief!”

~ Lady Macbeth, Act I, scene v

Comedy of Errors used to come to mind. Not any more.

If Bush the UE can ‘out’ one of Our real spies, then Couldn’t he also ‘hide’ someone else’s real spies, too?

What’s to stop Bush from waving his Magic Wand over Condi and saying “She has my protection and is, therefore, Above the Law and beyond even questioning.”

This seems important because Either Condi ’sat on’ the 911 Warnings – and if so, very possibly as an ‘Agent’ of a Foreign Government (no American would ‘do’ that to US!) – or Bush ’sat on’ the 911 Warnings, and told her and everyone else in the inner circle to just ‘let things happen’ – at which point, Condi’s poolboy Zelikow was brought in to ‘mole’ the 911 Commission…

In the opening of Hamlet, the shimmering ghost of the King is seen by the watchful guards…

Marcellus: Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.

Horatio: Heaven will direct it.

Marcellus: Nay, let’s follow him.

Color me as shocked as Capt. Renault in Casablanca.

So, the Madrid Train Bombing, 3/04, a month before Spain’s withdrawal, was a very ‘timely’ event for BushCo!

What If…

…Comey ‘knew’ in advance that Madrid was going to happen and tried to warn Bush, but Bush made the decision to ’sit on it’ – so the Spaniards would be ‘taught a lesson’ in what it costs to Defy the Protections of the UE?

Of course, this is all speculative, but, if true, I wonder where Bush could have gotten the idea to ’sit on’ intell and ‘let things happen’ – even with the fore-knowledge of many deaths?

Maybe Bush and his Cronies think every Country needs its Pearl Harbor, huh?

in his first sentence. I can’t bear to read more. I wouldn’t have read that much if the New York Times started publishing responsibly and stopped insisting on bracketing the likes of Paul Krugman with reliably conservative views, as if he were a dangerously attractive 14 year-old at her first sock hop. But then, perhaps that’s how the newspaper of record [sic] gets anyone to read him at all.

One would think the Times was working as hard to avoid incurring Karl’s wrath (even in “retirement”) as much as Roger Ailes slaves to court it.
