Thom Hartmann on the port deal: It was good cop, bad cop ... [View All]

... all the way with the full cooperation of the mainstream media.

Rove doesn't want to go to jail; Bush doesn't want to be impeached. Both are likely if the House and Senate change hands.

So, Bush plays bad cop and pushes for the deal with UAE. Even the MSM is stunned.

Yesterday, congressional Repugs rode to the rescue and corked the deal. The Republicans saved America. At least that's the way it was reported. Repug voices and faces filled the airwaves. Chuck Schumer was the only Dem given much face time.

Results: Bush takes one for the team, Halliburton and the Carlyle Group get a shot at the ports, and Congressional Repugs appear to be saviors of the 'murican people.

Forget the November elections ... for now.
