Start a bunch of pointless bullshit, then with their usual lemming chorus, point the finger elsewhere.

First time I can remember that protocol was with (drumroll) Willie Horton's "days off". Signed by Reagan; pointed at Dukakis. Quite honestly, that very matter was what interested me in being a Democrat at age 13. Read it in "The Union Builder" where they got to the bottom of it, but obviously it didn't catch fire with the media since they were in the tank for Mr. Broccoli.
