Reply #11: I got the impression Tweety was merely pointing out the fact

[Skarbrowe]

that when the media turns from the amount of coverage the Iraq war deserves, like now, because Bush is pulling all this other sickening crap, that it bodes well for the Republicans. Tweety's been against the Iraq war from the beginning and he knows most of the American people are against it now. If Bush can keep other things, speeches, threatening to all but allow torture in the Geneva Convention, even having his own ass being skewered in the media for such things, the less is heard about how terrible and irreversible the situation in Iraq truly is at this time. Magician's trick. Watch this hand, while the other one is cutting your throat. Most Americans aren't paying all that much attention. They might catch something here or there on the news and if it's Bush looking tough (puke) on the TV, or Chavez calling him the devil, or constant news about an Iranian threat...well, Iraq can get easily shoved to the back of their brain. That's very good news for the Republicans.

At least I think that's what Tweety has been talking about. Maybe not.
