I hopped over to DU between plays of the FSU-PSU game and found this discussion of current events:

Why is it when ever
Bush or his admin is under the gun there's some kind of disaster that gets all the news? (mining disaster). I am a firm believer that eveyone in the * admin is a murderer and that NOTHING is beyond them! Yes, it wouldn't take much to make me believe that Rove was behind the mining disaster.

1. Please, put on your hat.....
While I do believe that the MSM does have a habit of "hey lookie over here, another white blond teenager is missing" attitude, I think disasters such as Katrina, Rita and the mine situation are not directed by BushCo....I would never like to think they have that much power....

3. I almost hate to admit that I had the same thought yesterday
A mining disaster would be easy (for BushCo) to stage. I don't think they did, but it would certainly be easy.

4. Well, the explosion
started at the "portal" of the shaft. Someday I think **** will come out about these SOB's that will shock the entire world. Who would think that they could've gotten away with what they have already? Now they're just flipping us off and saying "so, what'd you gonna do about it?"

5. I sometimes think the same thing. I think of the movie Devils Advocate, I believe it was, that Keaneu Reeves sells his sole to the devil and everything happens to his benefit. Think about it, all the so called liberal media news anchors that the Republicans hated so disappeared last year Dan Rather, Tom Brokaw, Peter Jennings and Ted Koppel taken off of ABC. Sometimes I think Bush sold his sole to the devil or he is the Anti-Christ, it's creepy if you look at what has happened over the last few years. Everytime Bush gets in trouble something happens to take him off the front page.
Don`t laugh, bet you that by the week end, Bush will be blamed
Downing Street Mining. Byrd thinks he is the man on mines.
Yes, but is that enough time to activate the tsunami machine?
Soles and co-instances! Thanks for mining the DUmp for the abundant insanity!
Yeah,they blame Bush the same way the Nazis blamed the jews.
I saw a report several years ago that over 300 miners die each year in mining diamonds in South Africa. The jewelers don't want that information on the front page.
Personally I'd look at Rockefeller (D- WV). The Rockefellers own coal mines in WVa, and if anyone would be trying to gin up some down home sympathy to throw off the dogs it'd be the piddler from WV. (Piddler because he's leaking everywhere... allegedly, and he reminds me of Frank Gorshin from the old Batman tv show)
ping!!
So I guess Bush sold his shoes to the devil and now everything is going great for him?
I saw a report many years ago about Russia post Soviet Union. They said that DeBeers (the biggest diamond house) pays Russia to NOT sell off the vast hoarde of diamonds in the Soviet vaults. If they were to flood the market, diamonds would become mere trinkets, they have so many stockpiled.
It is a known fact that the south african diamond industry has carefully regulated how many diamonds can be sold each year.They have many more then they will ever sell. One of the tightest cartells on earth.
Another shining example of the truth behind my tagline.
Lets try the polar cap melting machine - that way the oceans will rise and wipe out those liberal coasts. End of problem. (Rove probably working on that tonight).
As much time as they spend fixated on how these things are Bush's fault, I wonder how much of their own money these pukes give to relief groups who help out in disasters.
Mining is dangerous. Some things are used by society, some things support the ego. I've yet to meet a female environmentalist who would not wear a big honkin' diamond if she got the chance.
Whining is an art form to the Duers.
These people are seriously mentally ill. It's scary that many of them probably are allowed to vote.

7. Look at what has happened since Rep. Murtha made his speech. Bush's poll numbers were in the 30's and after Murtha's speech if you haven't noticed the MSM coverage of iraq has taken a sudden 180 and they are puffing up the great economy. Now the big news they say bush's poll numbers are way up. He actually spies on Americans and admits it and says he will continue and they claim 65% of the American people support it. I think this whole country has gone nuts. War is peace, bad is good, wrong is right and down is up.

9. I wish my mind would not go there either... Boy do I ever mistrust this misadministration.
And now they're suggesting that Bush is responsible for misreporting the fate of the miners:

Is it possible that the story of the 12 live miners was purposely planted
just in time for the East Coast newspapers to run it on their front pages? Then discredited a few hours later when it was too late from them to turn back the presses? Only to discredit the media at a time when the **** is about to hit the fan for the republicans?
The NY Times has it on their front page. The NY Times also "betrayed" the Bush administration recently by printing the surveillence story after they had held it for a year.
And it took three hours for officials to correct the "mistake." And the initial news of the found survivors was reported at exactly midnight, a time when most newspapers are about to start their press run.
Three hours later, the news was corrected, after thousands of papers have been printed and are getting ready to be transported around the city. When the only people in the newsroom might be a cleaning crew.
If McClellan or Bush or any of those assholes says anything in the next few days about the media's lack of credibility in the incident, we will know our answer.
Their thought processes are truly frightening.
