Misdirection

In show business, professional magicians use it to make their tricks work. In football, coaches use it to move the ball and score points. It's called misdirection, and it's all about getting other people to look where you want them to. Focus their attention one one thing, while you do something else. In the world of politics, what we're seeing this week is an attempt at misdirection on a monumental scale. His selection of Pea should have ended Ace's dreams of the presidency, but if the misdirection works, if the idiots who vote are tricked into looking somewhere else or overshifting in the wrong direction, we're stuck with an administration that'll match W's for the title WORST EVER.
