About the Gallup Poll
And now we have a Gallup poll that suggests a majority of Americans think Bush is more to blame for the failure to catch Bin Laden. Isn't that amazing? Look how happy we are. Liberal blogs are filled with joy. However, there is a bigger picture here: The question of whose fault it is has been raised.
We had the Path to 9/11, then we had the Fox News ambush, and now we have a Gallup poll, all pointing in one direction: The ambiguity of blame.
I'm not saying Gallup is working with Rove to create this poll, only that it has responded to these currents created by Rove and manipulated by the Foxes. What was so clear, the failure of the Bush administration to catch Bin Laden (or even try to catch him), has been transformed into a question mark. Instead of blame being assigned to Bush by the pure logic of facts on the ground and of Bush's own admissions, we are faced with a carefully constructed question mark.
To all those who thought Rove was too busy with legal battles, here we can see his reappearance.
And as for Bill Clinton, he continues his bi-partisan world tour, one moment appearing on stage with Laura Bush, the other moment praising Blair.
Can't he see who we're dealing with here? It's not just inaction against terrorism; it's war crimes and it's the rise of a Republican theocracy.
The answer is clear.

Oh Lord how I do so wish more people could see this picture. Very well stated indeed my friend!
Thanks, Moondanzer. Power is about creating a discussion, making people think about options where none existed before. The power of this poll (like the power of Fox News) comes in posing questions that may have previously seemed absurd. But once these questions are out there they become viable alternatives to reality.
