I, too; have often decried the habit of Washington ding-a-lings using worst-case senarios as proof that some piece of bad legislation is justified.

It is a tactic of the amateur thinkers in politics, in the Washington media and alas, among those digesting the slop.

The attempt by Speaker 'Poison Nancy' Pelosi to use her grandchildren and by extension everyone's grandchildren, to ingratiate herself with the 6 O'clock TV news gang is a bendfing of this dishonesty,but only one of many variations seen daily.

Once, the Washington press forced politicians to at least make sense, but the'why' of followup questioning is rarely used because it calls for justification of issues and actions that cannot be justified, except by emotional propaganda; and this would embarass the media cohorts of the genetically challenged ding-a-lings.

The Washington media seems to a logical person a mere subdivision of radicals now embarasssingly in control of the Donkey Party.
