How are they going to try to weasel out of this one?
Taking bets now, how are the Repubs going to try to spin and weasel their way out of the latest Katrina scandal?

My first bet is: "We didn't release the information because we didn't want to panic people."

1. My prediction: They won't.

Why should they? It's not like anyone will be held accountable.

4. Government Gone Wild Videos! Nothing's going to happen until '06 and
even that's a big "if".

2. "everybody knew the levees could break! This was a local problem"
The democrats are attacking our glorious president while he is on foreign soil! The leak of this video compromises our national security, and the leaker must be executed."

5. Yep, they'll just let it fade, like the DSM, etc.
It's evidently far easier to wait something out in calmness, than it is to maintain outrage and action.

DeLay got off or something similar, right? Now they're going to obfuscate PlameGate.

7. This stuff fades away because we let it!
It's going to take a massive movement amongst the people to get this stuff to stick. You have to keep hammering away at it until the sound becomes deafening. Does anybody around here have the energy?
