There is a false perception that the Democratic party leadership is feeling hopeless, despondent, etc. As shown in this Onion article. But this is not true. The Dem and GOP politicians and their top staff are all extremely successful people, tremendous manipulators, very well adapted people who are at the apex of the human social hierarchy. THey LOVE what they are doing. And they are rich or getting rich.

They are not feeling hopeless or despondent.

In my opinion, Bush, his cabinet, and all the GOP congresspeople and Democratic congresspeople (collectively, the "Political Elite") are responsible for the deaths in New Orleans because they failed to properly tax the rich and use that money to protect New Orleans. That was murder.

Therefore, I hereby petition the US Justice Dept to indict all of above aforesaid Political Elite for those New Orleans murders, and try them on capital murder charges in a court of law, in accordance with custom and due process.

Newton's 1st Law of Motion: An object in motion will remain in motion. Also, every whipped dog has its day. Bush and Rove whipped the MSM. And now the the MSM has the upper hand. Also, the credibility of the MSM with the public is quite low. They need this to regain credibility. They will try to sacrifice Rove.

An MSNBC internet poll with 70K responses shows 89% think Bush should fire Rove. Also, further down the MSM hierarchy, lesser media outlets and lesser "journalists" model their behavior on the elite media "journalists".
