Default Heads up: The Bush years, tonight at 8 on CBC

For those of you that are new to the political scene, CBC will air a special tonight with an in depth look at how Bush changed the presidency and the country.

I believe the original working title was: the stuff even Micheal Moore thought was too slanted to run

(truthfully I know nothing about it, but my biases are just as strong as the CBC's)

This is great so far. Not much in the way of bias at all, at least not yet.

One thing I found interesting, not that it's new, but their use of plausible deniability. Cheney thought that the mistake Nixon did was knowing about Watergate, not like most of us think, what Nixon did was a crime and shouldn't have happened. So Cheney was very careful in what he exposed Bush to so he could safely deny any shenanigans his regime was up to, such as false evidence for invading Iraq.

I guess this may work in a legal sense but Bush would have to the idiot he's accused of being if he didn't know better. Even I knew it was a bunch of garbage and I was only casually following the mess.

Sure wish they touched more on the collapse of the economy instead of the war's all the time.

It was probably written prior earlier in the year.
