Overloading our collective gag reflex

Mark Morford nails it:

Gosh sometimes the colon clench-inducing Bush political cowpies stack up so fast you almost can't keep track.

It's getting so it's nearly impossible to follow which war-crimes monster or which convicted lying felon or which mysterious pro-corporate stable boy is heading what major investigative commission or sinister domestic-surveillance database or cramming what vile homeland-security bill with how many tons of conservative pork. Whew.

It's the GOP's infamous rapid-punch, pile-on strategy, and it goes something like this:

Overload our collective gag reflex with enough reckless laws and appointments, enough shockingly irresponsible decisions any one of which would, by itself, offend and appall anyone with a cognitive pulse, and they all simply become a numbing swirl of indecipherable atrocities no one has the will to object to anymore.
