A new threat has suddenly emerged, a possible terrorist attack before the election. It could happen! We should be worried!

Of course, the problem with all this is we already knew that. Nothing changed from last week… Why bring it up this week? Three words: That Fucking Book.

The White House is now engaged in a desperate campaign to distract the American people from the multiple illegal acts President Bush has recently admitted to. Here’s an important point to keep in mind:These aren’t allegations, these are quotes from the president and his staff. Ladies and gentlemen, these are not assertions. These are facts[.] (Okay, I cribbed that bit from Colin Powell’s UN speech… but I assure you, unlike Powell, I’m not lying.)

Drudge has two headlines up at this moment dealing with this sudden threat- “Bracing For Terror” and “Terror Operatives In Place” while there’s one headline of Condi denying everything she told Woodward. And thus, the distraction machine is in motion.

I find it hard to believe something this lame could distract us from these illegal, treasonous acts, but I’ve been surprised too many times to count with the ignorance/indifference of the American people. I won’t be too surprised tomorrow when I hear, “President Bush struck that deal with the Saudis to get us some cheap gas! Hey, if that gets him reelected, well, that’s an unintended consequence.”

Watergate was some guys breaking into an office. This is about killing literally thousands of innocent people for no reason, making secret deals with the country that funded the 9/11 terrorists in order to help with reelection, not to mention lying constantly to the American people. Why hasn’t anyone called them on this?
