Distraction with a twist
Now that the Holloway girl's mother has left Aruba, the media should be forced to move on to real stories, right?

Wrong.

Scarborough, who leads the pack in distraction stories, is covering the one that's been bouncing around the bottom for a while ... distraction with a twist ...... a missing white ..... **man**.

Meanwhile, Bolton's in under a dictator ploy by the king.

The king's men are criminally responsible for outting an undercover CIA agent.

The DSM is still out there.

But we need a new distraction ....... right, Regular Joe?

1. And this one got some national attention over the weekend....
http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/news/local/12274024.htm

<snip>Latoyia Figueroa, 24, of West Philadelphia, has been missing since July 18. She is five months pregnant and the mother of a 7-year-old girl.>

Gotta have those missing persons reports but let's not talk about all our soldiers that are against the Iraq war, let's not talk about all the defrocked pedophile priests who won't be prosecuted because the statute has run out, let's not talk about all the children dying in Sudan, or Niger, or Rwanda or HERE for that matter!

2. Ambition, distraction,
uglification and derision (Mock Turtle, "Alice in Wonderland", Lewis Carroll)

Those 4 words contain the entire B*shR*ve methodology and game plan.

3. Sounds like a great Agatha Christie novel...
But it should be on page 18 on the paper, if at all.

It looks like the accusations that they only cover missing pretty white girls is making them defensive...
