Danger, Will Robinson!

Fresh of the heels of scandal A [Rove's deep involvement and potentially perjurous contradictory statements in the Plame Affair] and distraction tactic B [The Administration's nomination of a dark and mysterious, though "all Amurican boy," candidate for the Supreme Court], the White House switches gears and regresses, back into a previous seedy nomination: that of John Bolton ["Moustache McGee"] for US Ambassador to the UN.

"Sources" say that we might be prepared to expect The Administration to install Bolton in the Ambassador's chair by side-stepping the non-vote in the Senate and implant him on a "temporary basis."

This is the strange game of The Administration at this moment: Distract the opposition with one controversy after another. The goal will be to split attention; but the result will be the same cesspool and downward spiral toward collapse as has occured with The Administration's war in Iraq.
