We learned some important things last week from our fellow bloggers. These are key points that cannot be overlooked.
About the Bush Administration from Josh Marshall:
This isn't about the AG's lies. It's not about the attempted cover-up. It's not about executive privilege and investigative process mumbojumbo.About Fox News via Daily Kos:
This is about using US Attorneys to damage Democrats and protect Republicans, using the Department of Justice as a partisan cudgel in the war for national political dominance. All the secrecy and lies, the blundering and covering-up stems from this one central fact.
I'm going to keep this nugget from Kerry pollster Mark Mellman up on the Open Thread for a few days so it takes solid root:Fox News viewers supported George Bush over John Kerry by 88 percent to 7 percent. No demographic segment, other than Republicans, was as united in supporting Bush. Conservatives, white evangelical Christians, gun owners, and supporters of the Iraq war all gave Bush fewer votes than did regular Fox News viewers.
