DeFoleyation
Behold, the harmonic convergence of sound public relations strategy and literary lethargy:
Sounds like a plan to me, Jed; I'm just too frakking busy to catch up with that topic anyway.
Give Rush Limbaugh's counter-conventional election wisdom a look - nice to see some hefty company joining me on "Democrats Will Remain In The Minority" island.
UPDATE: The AmSpec Prowler reports that the Democrats may have intended Foleygate to be the killing blow the week before Election Day but were forced to play their best card early as a defensive measure against an all-out collapse.
If so - and you have to remember the impenetrability of the echo-chamber bubble Democrats inhabit DOES distort their perception of what transpires in the real world - then their resort to a sex scandal where there was no actual sex was meant primarily to stop the bleeding while putting back over the original campaign meme of the inevitability of Republican defeat.
Does that mean the Donk dirty tricks cupboard is empty? I doubt it; even in the post-Clinton/pre-Clinton era that thing is darn-near bottomless. What it does mean, I think, is (1) they may have taken their best shot, leaving the GOP a month to recover from it; and (2) their lack of a credible (i.e. sane) national spokesperson and tell-tale overplaying of their Foley hand has negated much of the advantage it did provide them.
The North Korean nuclear test didn't help them, either.
Kim jong-Il on Karl Rove's payroll; who woulda thunk it?
Ok, boys and girls: time to Defoleyate the campaign. Napalm the jungle of junk news, drop agent orange on the liberal grapevine that's keeping this side issue on the front page. Real issues, real news, anyone?
