if you repeat and repeat and repeat the same nonsense the same nonsense the same nonsense often often often, the hope is that people will get confused and think that the real scandals have been dealt with.
it works for the resident far right folk here: they think that the way they frame this is the way things are and so are quite sure because their talking heads on radio and television are quite sure that this particular bushscandal is over. why? because the right says it is.
after all, cowboy george continues giving speeches in which 9/11 and iraq are mentioned right next to each other and some apparently still manage to beleive on that basis that iraq had something to do with 9/11/2001, that it is an extension of the bushwar on "terrorr" blah blah blah.
perhaps that is why none of the resident far right folk can explain why their narrative of scandal-address in this case makes any sense.
that part is not prominent amongst the punditocracy's claims that this is over.
so they haven't been told why.
it just is.
