Slipping in the polls? Start a War on Porn

Apparently the "War on Terror" (TM) has been conquered. It's time to celebrate, everyone!

At least that's how water cooler talk around FBI offices is going, as noted in this Washington Post article about a new initiative announced by Alberto Gonzales to divert FBI agents into rooting out porn on the internet. To be clear, we're not talking about pornography involving or aimed at children, but rather pornography involving consenting adults.

When in doubt, raise the spectre of a threat to public morality. That'll divert attention from a failing war effort, a dismal Supreme Court nominee, a botched response to Hurricane Katrina, etc., etc.
