Rove's pronouncements are part of a larger strategy taking hold. The news is getting bad for this administration and is only going to get worse. I think the most troubling thing for them is the ongoing shift of the independents. More and more people are waking up to the fact they've been lied to, and not just about Iraq. Some of the latest polls show the independents rejecting Bush's policies in increasingly similar percentages as the Democrats. It's time to for them to try the "divide and conquer" routine again in an attempt to peel off some of the independents. And this is how it's done.
"Look! Over here!! Something shiny!"
I can't help but think what it must be like for a New Yorker, watching this sleaze hump the corpse of 9/11 one more time for partisan gain. Rove is reaping anger all right, just not the kind he wants. He's forgetting that we were ALL New Yorkers for a time... until that unity was squandered.
Don't be distracted.
