This, more than anything, is what the right realized in the wake of the 2000 election: in a moment of chaos or crisis, they can do anything -- *anything*, no matter how overtly criminal or gross -- & just smooth it over later with "both sides" pablum. "Let's not fight, let's look forward," etc.

...it took a matter of *months* before the media had collectively smudged & smeared the whole thing, "ah, there were many fights, who can say, let us come together & look forward rather than backward," etc.

Crime --> no consequences.
Greater crime --> still no consequences.

And so on, still today.

Final thought. I was a youngling watching this, Willis saying "You guys are NASA, you have guys think stuff up..." stayed with me. That's called text book showing of soft power. You give it up..dangerous things will happen. Unless someone else takes up the tab. Rule the waves #EU
