So What's the WH 'Message of the Week' Going to Be? >
Edited on Mon Oct-17-05 10:50 AM by Stephanie


They need a HUGE distraction this week. I don't think "Focus on Medicare" is going to hack it right now.





"War on Terror" was the theme for the week before last, when he gave the big speech, plus sub-theme "Be Very Afraid" WRT the subway terra lert.







Last week was "Message: I Still Care About Hurricane Victims" plus "Message: The Troops Love Me."







But THIS week we're pretty sure Fitz will not extend the GJ, therefore indictments could come down any minute.

What is BushCO going to use to try to distract us now? What's the WH Message of the Week for October 17-21, 2005?

2. They could raise the terror alert again
I don't think it'll work. They've cried "wolf" too many times.

17. Don't bet on it. Day after KO did the Terror Nexus timline, LA stopped
for a backpack.

What worries me is not a raise in the alert status, but a real incident. These guys are getting down to the wire now and they are not gonna go out peacefully. There is gonna be too much to account for if they do not hold the reins of power. Can't see Cheney just taking his come-uppance like a good little man.

4. A cow in OK tests positive for BSE or the national Turkey
is discovered to have Avian flu. I'm thinking something along the lines of Thanksgiving being something to fear.

5. Mier to become first SCOTUS nominee launched
We expect a news release from NASA to begin a week intended to ingratiate the nominee with Bush's RW base of Techies/and Astrophiles.

15. With Rove in an undisclosed location,
and Karen Hughes, in India, I think Cheney will go crazy, and just tell everyone, Fuck You. They just don't care. Probably one more trip to the south for Bush, he'll sit on Trent Lott's front porch.
