[lit-ideas] Re: forward from a friend (2)

I handed the book to my husband, who is a huge reader, and he looked up at  
me and said, "You want me to read a phone book??".  It *is* a tad  intimidating.

It's odd that the conservative  bloggers were able to bring doubt on Dan 
Rather and the 
National Guard  documents, but in the end, that's all there was: doubt.

But in the case  of Bush, there's massive amounts of irrefutable evidence on 
9.11, Iraq, oil,  
the environment, and many other disasters, yet he continues to gain in the  
polls. Many 
people simply don't care about the facts, no matter how damning.  In that 
matter, the web 
hasn't been successful as an information  resource.

Maybe it's like the Savings and Loan scandals under Reagan; the  story was 
too big, too 
complex. Bush supporters have generally a poor  education; they can 
understand stories about 
kittens in trees and so on, but  massive corporate fraud? It's too  much.
