For the left, it was most important that Bush NEVER be portrayed as anything other than a<br />bumbling idiot who was also evil incarnate and that Cheney be the master evil manipulator. It is also important that Obama be pictured as the Messiah who must rescue us from the evils of the Bush-Cheney years and if he is less than successful at any step it is because of the enormity of the problem that he inherited (notice that in all this the Democratic controlled Congress gets a pass). This is the story that gets the press, and , I fear, will be the story that our children's children will read in their history books - just as, unless discovery is allowed and the civil suits proceed, future generations will believe, despite Cooper's announcement, that in fact RCD were involved in something nefarious with Crystal Mangum that March night in 2006.<br />cksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
