The Frame Game

I made a mistake last night.....

Fell asleep, on sleep, listening to Dan Russell on the (nolongerso)Giant'98.

Which meant that when the alarm went off after the extra sleep time this morning I was woken by the less than dulcet tones of the Premier's brother, Michael Campbell, and his Talkin' Money Minstrel Show.

Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on how you feel about credulity, I never got to the inevitable jive talk about the absence of real estate bubbles, the need for structural corrections, and/or the joys of speculative precious metal investing .

Why?

Because, apparently, Mr. Campbell was reading directly from his very own, much coveted, gilt-edged 'Offshore Talking Points For Future Cheney Administration Collaborators' playbook this morning.

As a result, Campbell led off his program with a frame game rant against any and all who questioned the Cheney Admin's response to the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina.

Guess Mr. Campbell is too busy to read commie-pinko, off-the-deep-end stuff like, oh say, the Op-Ed page of the New York Times.

"Surely there are loyal Republicans among the 50 directors of state emergency services. But President Bush chose to make FEMA a dumping ground for unqualified cronies - a sure sign that he wanted to hasten the degradation of an agency that conservative Republicans have long considered an evil of big government. Katrina has proved that federal disaster help is vital, and that Mr. Brown and his team of advance men can't do the job. What America needs are federal disaster relief people who actually know something about disaster relief."


So, by mistakenly stumbling upon Mr. Campbell's ill-informed tirade, we can only wonder if we've managed to identify yet another member of the local chapter of the Herr Zeller brigade.

Hmmmmm...wonder where that mythical Cheney Admin. (Export Edition) playbook might have come from? Could it have been delivered by Cheney Admin. advance men prepping the local Zeller brigade in front of the Maximum Leader's aborted visit to his Oil Sands?
