Do you think the arrest was timed to do that? Or does shit just happen and the system processes things to work that way. Because there's never any shortage of such material in American life - the details may vary from week to week, even if the structure remains the same.
Still, Americans are very easily distractible. They really don't care much about politics, I'm sorry to say. They'd much rather follow LiLo or whatever the flavor of the week is. Mark Sanford was fun, but that was sex and lying more than politics.
