Its just too complex for the American people now.
Typical.

Re "just too complex", yes that's exactly what I'm saying. (Although wake the fuck UP about the alledged "left wing" press).
I imagine the press will do their best to report this, but it's too convoluted at this point. Americans have lost interest in the story, but they haven't lost the bad taste the earlier parts of the story have left. The ambiguity of Armitage's intentions, in particuar, makes this a hard story to report on. News outlets with the opportunity to do deep, nuanced work might be able to handle it, but they don't have nearly the reach of the nighly news--and this piece of news doesn't reduce well into a 90-second package.
Listen: Republican mid-term candidates are distancing themselves from Bush as hard as they can. There's a reason for that. This administration has gone from limping to crawling. We can argue whether that's right or wrong, I guess, but my point is just this: the damage is done.
