Sorenson: 'What you can do about Bush'
I've come to respect Harley Sorenson, because he comes out and says what so many journos in this country must be thinking - but won't say out of fear of retribution or economic threat. In this srticle, he lays out a list of things we can do to take some of the shine off the Imperial Presidency.
Folks, Bush has gone too far, too many times. He is a one-man wrecking crew, destroying, bit by bit, what decent men and women have created and improved upon for 227 years. We have to stop him. We have to do it soon. If we don't, we won't have an America to protect.
Perhaps some of you can't see the forest for the trees. Perhaps you're too close to the picture to see it clearly. But, I assure you, the rest of the world knows what's going on in America. The rest of the world is aghast. "What is happening to America?" they ask. "Why don't the Americans do something about Bush?"
Last week I got an unbelievably heavy surge of e-mail from readers. And roughly 80 percent had the same question: "What can I do?"
What can I do? What can anybody do? Does it help to write to members of Congress? Should I write letters to the editor? Please, please, tell me, what can I do?
My answer last week was, "I don't know." But I've been thinking about it, and I've come up with a few ideas that might actually work, if we're lucky.
And if we're good.
If you haven't seen it, it's well worth a read.

Thinking about that and the following post--"what can we do?" got me to thinking...why don't we ask journos to write the stories they want to anonymously-then give them to us bloggers to publish?

Barney, that is brilliant!
Dunno how many would go for it, but it's definitely worth considering....
