A decade of conservative failure

Bill Moyers:
Will Rogers once said, "The short memories of American voters is what keeps our politicians in office." But as Democrats face what many believe will be a tough mid-term election, historian Thomas Frank argues that it might just be the other way around for incumbent Democrats. The Republican Party, which lost Congress and the White House in the last four years, may be poised for a comeback. A comeback Frank believes is only possible because Americans have forgotten what their country looked like under conservative rule, "That's the disease of our time...that sort of instant forgetting."
Watch the video. And do not let yourself forget this last decade.

We do not forget. The media "forgets."

What media? There are only a few really good reporters left...

And then the wonderful blogosphere which the Cheney cabal didn't factor in...
