When Patrick Moynihan defined the term back in 1993, he was concerned about increasing urban violence. Its relevance to national politics seems to increase every day as new examples of the lawlessness of the Bush Administration emerge. We are so conditioned to the perfidy of these people that things that once might of been shocking are now considered normal.
Today's revelation that the Department of Justice continuously broke the law in its hiring practices barely moved the needle. The Justice Department has been so debased that no one even expects it to follow the very laws it is supposed to uphold.
Illegal wire tapping? Government approved torture? Indefinite imprisonment without charges or evidence? Standard operating procedure.
We have been governed by criminals for the past 7 1/2 years, and no one seems to give a damn.
