Scandal-go-round

Wow, so much rotten stuff is going on right now, it's hard to keep up, so I'm just going to eat popcorn and watch. I posted my tart GOP circular trust on Salon today, for fun, basically lampooning how the reactionaries operate on issues:

1. What can't be forgotten gets refuted.
2. What can't be refuted gets ignored.
3. What can't be ignored gets challenged.
4. What can't be challenged gets distorted.
5. What can't be distorted gets forgotten.

Repeat as often as necessary, until the offending reality goes away. They apply that to everything in the service of their ideology. It plays into that great line from awhile ago...

...According to Mr. Suskind, "The aide said that guys like me were 'in what we call the reality-based community,' which he defined as people who 'believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.' " The aide told Mr. Suskind, "That's not the way the world really works anymore. We're an empire now, and when we act we create our own reality."

Might Makes Right, 21st Century-style!
