All zheimers

AITOOW has a memory? Richard Clarke and others have been banging the drum about cargo or bags not being scanned since 9/11. They told us a large amount of mortgages were going to reset after the economic collapse and that many people would probably default. Why can't even the media remember what it has reported on? Don't they have log books. Is the turn over that great? Are they that temporally challenged?

Here's a larger history lesson: Carter won because of Watergate. Reagan won because of the hostages. He won again because he borrowed his grand kids money and gave it to his selfish, baby boomer kids. Bush won because of Dukakis in a tank. Clinton won because Baby Boomers wanted to thumb their noses at daddy and Ross Perot. Clinton won again because of Silicon Valley and Bob Dole fell off a stage. Bush won because Clinton stuck a cigar up a fat girls cooch and Gore chose a Jew. Bush won again because of flip flops. Obama won because McCain looked like he could croak any moment and nobody trusted Palin with the keys. Plus white guilt made voting for a black man penance. And oh yeah the New Depression and IEDs.

In addition, can the "historians" remember this - every political campaign we say this is worse than ever. It is the same.
