Bingo, we have a winner here. Excellent analysis. I've noticed lately that lately the Dems have been using the words "scandal", "corrupt", and "corruption" in reference to the Bush Admin with great frequency. I accidently tuned into Air America last week and some clown was talking about the "Bush Crime Family." I have a working theory about why they are doing this and lying with greater frequency than usual, but I'm not sure yet whether I want to post that theory on the web.
ah, go ahead and just say it...they have nothing else to work with so they are manufacturing the "appearance of deceit".
