Magic Mr. Keith

I have to confess, I like Keith Olbermann. I’ve put a link at the right (no pun intended) to his most recent article on MSNBC. If nothing else Keith can get you to thinking. Because of Keith I have now discerned a pattern of continuing smoke and mirrors from this administration. No, let me take that back. I have discerned a pattern of continuing smoke and mirrors and “lies” from this administration. I’m sure it is no revelation to anyone else but it confirms my suspicions and now I feel a little better. When a person or group is or are dishonest at their core it generally permeates every action they take. This has become patently clear to me. For the Bush administration the latest cycle of dishonesty actually began back during their first Presidential Campaign and more specifically in South Carolina when they began the character assassination of one of their own in the case of Presidential candidate John McCain. In my mind, sly, under the table, stealth campaigns to assassinate someone’s character are no different than putting a “ringer”, mail escort journalist, in the White House press corps or increasing terror alerts to distract from political difficulties. All of these acts are lies to me. They are all deceitful. They are all part of a bigger campaign to keep the American equilibrium off balance and to maintain the facade of competence within this administration. Having said all of that I have to agree with Keith and "B" doesn’t necessarily have to be caused by "A" but remember what I always say, If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck it must be lipstick on that pig.
Take heart my friends because there is a flicker of hope as demonstrated in the most recent poll numbers released last night. Mr. Bush is at an all time low in approval ratings (39%) and the rest of the poll numbers would indicate that America is not happy with the direction the nation is going or the performance of Congress. I’m not sure that bodes well for liberals though if they don’t come up off that plan they keep talking about.

Those are The Sergeant Majors thoughts on that.

That was one excellent post. If KeithO can spark your mind, maybe he can spark mine.
