Please Butch It Up For the Camera, Sir

It is pointless to engage this horse hockey on it's own terms.
Discussion of whether the report is valid or not should be limited. Nobody (who is engaged in rational discussion) believes this crap any more.
America needs to focus on the opportunity cost of this catastrophic misadventure. The discussion should be two-pronged:
First, point out the lies involved in this latest PR game.
then quickly
Second, work AGGRESSIVELY to shape, promote, and PASS legislation on the issues that really matter to Americans:
housing
health care
infrastructure
jobs
education
alternative energy research
diplomacy and America's standing in the World
The first topic should ALWAYS be stated in a terse and dismissive manner while it should be IMMEDIATELY and ALWAYS followed by the domestic agenda items that are being ignored while this discussion sucks up all the air on the political and "news" front.
As long as we are on Bush's topic, it's all about him.
And that's what the little narcissist wants, isn't it?
put him in time out and take away his toys: war money. attention. the power to set the discussion
I'm tired of talking and thinking about his needs and wants.
That a lame duck is getting away with setting the topic of discussion is more than absurd...it's catastrophic.
no doubt
"The Wire" is, by far, the most engaging "TV" I have seen in my lifetime...and I am far from young.
