Mark my words, this tragedy will be used for political hay

When was the last time a tragedy wasn't milked for all the political juice it could possibly be? I can't think of one in recent history.

Tragedy is to political gain what pollen is to honey making.

Agreed, but don't you think the accusations are more and more, well, crazy? Just look that number of people who thought that a plane never hit the Pentagon, or that the military shot down the plain that crashed in PA on 09/11/01, or that levees in NO were blown up, or any of the other comments made in regards to Katrina? Read the book "Bushwhacked" by Molly Ivins and you'll get the idea.

And no, It is not just for Bush hating Libs. When Micheal Rivero was a poster on FR, he came replete with a suitcase full of conspiracy theories, some of them downright kooky.
