I kinda just think these guys thought they could get away with it...
Considering how the media has rolled over everything for the past 6 years...

Considering they have gotten away with faaaaar worse in the last 6 years...

And considering all of the large fires burning around them... Why wouldn't they be able to "sneak" the ports deal by???

If i were them, i would try it too... Shit man, they have gotten EVERY OTHER THING THEY WANTED. The towers, the levees, the elections, two wars, and a 293 % profit for Halliburton last year... Why not this too?

I just don't think they planned on anyone noticing.... I mean, how about Jay Leno starting his show in a full lip curl over this. Jay Leno! That guy ususally waits at least a week to make sure a joke is safe enough to bring up in public. Jay didn't say "airplane" on his show until 2002.

1. I think they thought they could get away with it too.
No one would know. No one would care. No one would cover it.

I don't believe it was a rovian trap like some have been saying.
