It seems two things happen when the Roving Cheneyburtonians are confronted with something scary.

Not something real and scary.

Like a looming threat, either man or nature made, because for that they just turn turtle and wait to see which way the wind blows the next newscycle before they do anything.

No.

What we're talking about here is something that scares them politically.

Of course, the first thing that they do is slime, slime, slime, slime, roast and flip to marginalize the scary thing.

Remember how they did that, and are still doing it, to grass roots organizations like 'Move On' (yes, the very same folks that have rallied hundreds of thousands of citizens of America and the World to help clean up the mess in the wake of Brownie et al.).

The second thing they do is imitate the thing, also known as 'Astroturfing' (ie. they lay out the green to make a phoney, plastic copy of the real thing and call it their own).

And thus, 'Move America Forward' and its ilk were born out of slush funds and wayward PACs.

All of which goes to show that this business of hiring Clint Black to 'Iraq and Roll' the Cheney Administration's commemorative efforts to bash Richard Clarke yesterday was very important indeed.

Not just because it was not cheesy or even laughable (ie. only 13,000 people showed up to the pre-screened [not]Freedom Walk that even the Washington Post pulled out of because they were able to get up the gumption to declare the event political and manipulative), but rather because it shows how scared the Rovians are of what almost happened last November.

Of course, as deflector spin the Screamers (with help, we're sad to say from our [dis]own[ed] National Post) have been telling everyone that will listen that the involvement of folks like Michael Moore and Bruce Springsteen on the Demo side is what tipped the balance the Republican way last November.

Don't believe it.

And don't just take our word for it.

Because the sounds of Rovian-hired gunsells in action speak much, much louder than words.
