Reply #6: Political ramifications? Puh-leeze. [View All]

We already know what criminality has gone on; the indictments aren't going to change the views of anyone here.

As far as the wingnuts go, the Bush administration could sacrifice babies and eat their hearts on prime time television, and the only complaint they'd get from their base would be for pre-empting WWE rasslin'.

As far as the rest of America is concerned, ask your average co-worker if they even know who Scooter Libby is and you'll get blank stares and a request to pass the Krispy Kremes.

Without a robust news media, there will be little or no chance that this will affect the sheeple.

Personal theory? I think gas prices are staying high right now so that they can be lowered to boost *'s numbers when the indictments DO come. Gas prices are the biggest reason for the 37% rating, IMHO - white middle class America has already forgotten Katrina's victims.
