Great post . . . . I would add to the notion of "projection" with "protection." When he "projects", the media and punditry automatically go after the target of his projection instead of questioning the basis for his latest rants. They have been protecting him ever since he started questioning Obama's birth certificate, sane washing him for public consumption.
