Reasons why this Haggard thing is political.

[Dawgs]

1) It's a distraction from Kerry.

2) It's a distraction from job numbers.

3) Unfortunately, it's also a distraction from nuclear bombs on Bush's website story.

4) It will probably be a distraction from Saddam trial, or any other Rove trick.

1. gay marriage bans = more Ted Haggards

Any pro gay marriage pols running in the future should figure out a way to get this thru their thick heads.

Come on Feingold!

2. I've been distracted

and missed the job numbers and Bush bomb stories. Woke up late this morning and I'm still catching up.

What's with the Bush bomb story?

(off to find the job numbers)

3. And with the anti-gay marriage amendment in CO, it shows

the hypocrisy of one of it's most ardent supporters.

4. nukes are a nonissue

because
a) it is so FUCKING STUPID to publish that stuff that the shock hasn't begun to set in yet.
b) MSM will ignore it or treat it as a simple mistake. Besides, there is a gay pastor to discuss. And Kerry.
c) Bush and Condi will blame others even though the Military intel people pleaded with Congress and the WH NOT to release this stuff.
d) the real miscreant, Sanitorium and his Neocon clones in the Senate will deny all responsibility, even though they were the driving force behind it.
e) most Americans won't hear about it.

5. Also political because

this guy was in on a WEEKLY conference call to the White House (and reportedly bragged about his "access"), sponsored anti-gay legislation designed to get the social conservatives to the poll to vote Rethug in races they would otherwise take no interest in, and probably had his finger in countless tax-funded "faith based initiatives" and God only knows what other corrupt right wing schemes.
