Unravelling

Category: Politics
Posted on: March 7, 2007 10:22 AM, by Coturnix

I am still a little under the weather, but I managed to get online and read and see what I missed - what an eventful week! And a bad week for the Right. Libby is guilty. Heads are falling around the Walter Reed affair. Newt Gingrich blames the NOLA victims for not being good enough citizens to leave before Katrina. The Coulter story keeps on giving. Joe Klein keeps jumping with both feet into his mouth almost daily. Atheism taken seriously in the news. The investigations into the firings of attorneys. The new NSA spying investigation. The Right-wing frothing at the mouth...

But we knew for years how conservatives think and how GOP operates. We blogged about it for years. Why is it only now, and only timidly, coming out in the corporate media?

Read the linked Obligatory Readings of the Day - just a small sampling of otherwise great blogging from the last few days:

We blogged about it for years. Why is it only now, and only timidly, coming out in the corporate media?

Was there an answer to this question, or was it rhetorical?

Rhetorical. Though Sean Carroll's and Kevin Drums's posts has an interesting idea.

the US attorney situation is surreal: not so much the action, but the lack of mass re-action.
