Is it me or does the Ricin attempt...

Edited on Tue Feb-03-04 05:25 PM by slor

on Frist seems to be more a pressing matter to the media than did the Anthrax attempt on Daschle? Also, am I the only one that believes this is yet another attempt to to distract the idiotic press from the more important stories of widespread duplicity within this administration. And my final question: Am I nasty for wanting to see the Janet Jackson breast footage? (just kidding on that one, flu drugs kicking in)

3. Wouldn't surprise me at this point to discover

the neocons sprinkled the stuff in there themselves so the budget increases for the Homeland Defense Ministry and the Pentagon are more palatable to the fiscal conservatives who are getting mighty pissed at Dubya...
"Damn, better make that increase 20% there!"
The high "Distractor Factor" makes it win-win for them.

4. Hadn't really paid much attention

I really haven't paid much attention to this whole ricin thing, but that is an interesting observation
