In yet another astonishingly brazen political gambit, the Bush administration has returned to it's usual and infallible reliance upon the American public's ignorance, just in time for Gonzalez, "the Torture Guy's" confirmation hearings.  

It will work because:

a.  They are right about the American public's ignorance- Joe Blow doesn't know who Gonzalez is or what his role or position on torture was, and:

b.  MOST IMPORTANTLY: The Senate Democrats are totally inept at understanding that this actually is an issue that Joe Blow might care about, and they are clueless as to how to do it.  Hence they have already roled over on yet another controversy that most Americans would support if they knew what was going on.

We always miss our opportunities and they don't.  Remember them making hay with Anita Hill?  

Every battle is an opportunity. Why are we so clueless?
