WTF Is It Now?!?

Grassy Knollers Vindicated, Dumbya Made to Look like Complete Idiot

"Leak after leak from 'informed' sources of the 'what did the big cheese know and when did he know it?' kind finally forced Bush, last Friday, to interrupt his cosy schmooze with air-cadets in the Rose Garden. A minor photo-op occasion became a desperate damage-limitation exercise. 'Had I known - fateful day - hunt them down one by one.' He looked bad. The Los Angeles Times frankly compared him to Nixon. 'I am not a coverer-up.' Were those pants on fire one could smell, or the smoking gun memos? Not roses for sure.

"It was a good day for investigative journalism, which had patiently exhumed the killer evidence. The White House was, demonstrably, warned ahead of time and did nothing. Above all, Bush's discomfiture was a tribute to the value of paranoia. Sometimes, craziness pays off - although rarely in the way the crazies expect.

"What had kept the heat on and finally brought this issue to the boil was a long series of conspiracy theories. Preposterous as they were they had one thing in common: they all insisted that there was more to the September outrage than met the eye. Someone, somewhere, was hiding something.

"The key moment in the long unravelling occurred three weeks ago. On a radio show congresswoman Cynthia McKinney dragged into the open air an allegation that had been festering in the depths of the internet for the previous six months." - - from the Guardian.
