I've noticed a pattern emerging here....

...first the administration and its familiars tried to distract us with the Jon Bene-Ramsey "arrest" and "deportation" (what the fuck was an official of DHS doing in Thailand?). Then the administration and its familiar, Fox Corporation, tried to distract us with the O.J. Simpson interview and book deal (what the fuck were they thinking? That we are stupid?).

I think they are desperately trying to prevent the mighty gavel of John Conyers from swinging its terrible righteousness in January. They will become more panicked with each and every passing day and the American public, now wise to the evil and cancer that resides in the Little Monkey administration, is not going to be diverted.

4. Rupert M and the Faux team have just cancelled the OJ thing

Guess they figured when they went down with the ship, they didn't want that to be one of their last bubbles....

Of course, the pig has already been paid, no doubt.

5. I doubt that Conyers and company will let the OJ distraction

distract THEM from what they have set their sights on doing, which is investigating, and holding hearings, etc. Yes, the MSM may do their usual thing, putting more emphasis on TomKat or OJ or Madonna or insert-name-of-distration-here, which IS irritating, certainly. But that doesn't mean that the Dems can't and won't do what they need to do.

7. It worked with Monica, Chandra and Bahamas missing white

girl. When the new Congress convenes, I doubt if any of the TV "news" outlets will cover any of it, unless he makes a syntax error or starts speaking Spanish or something like that.

8. Nonsense. The media goes with sensational for ratings.

Simple is that . The only plan they have is increase the number of viewers. When they broadcast this shit. The number of viewers increase.

MOst American don't care about politics at all but they love a good sleazy sex/murder story.

9. When subpoenas start getting written, they'll look mighty stupid not covering it.

However, really, fuck the corporate media. Save divine intervention, they'll be getting their subpoenas, too.

11. Fucking Goebbels had to go shoot himself.

I wanted a big Nazi MEDIA type to be tried at Nuremberg and condemned. THAT would have been a very good object lesson to Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes!
