WH to CNN: "Don't you know we changed the subject??"

Regarding the likelihood that the new terror warnings are a political diversion:

DANA BASH, CNN WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT: Judy, as far as their motives go, the Bush team certainly is well aware of the fact that people are questioning their motives and that there's a perception that perhaps that there was a political motive out there.

As a matter of fact, they understand it is, people think, perhaps to change the subject on Iraq. I talked to an official about Iraq earlier, called the official and started asking questions about that. And sarcastically the official said, Why are you calling me about this?

SMOKING GUN!!

1. I saw her mention this at least three times yesterday (thankfully)

When you need a political hack, who ya gonna call? John Asscroft.

Just like at the 911 Hearing, he is the one who will blatantly and unabashedly flung rw crap everywhere while performing his "job". No shame.

2. White House confused at press not playing along

as well as they used to.

Now mind you, I don't think the press has completely removed its tongue from Bush's throat, but they seem to be less willing to shill for them as they have in the past.

3. It's trasparently obvious--COME ON MEDIA!

Wake the hell up! This is the time for greatness in the media, not a "Department of Truth" corps of flunkeys. I know they can do it. It's not about "destroying Bush." However, the truth, exposed in the light of day, undoubtedly will do just that.
