Unbelievably stupid comment from WH regarding latest Iraq violence:
"Rather than see a collapse or a setback, I think in some ways, you can see an affirmation that the approach we've been taking has worked,"

said Adam Ereli, a State Department spokesman. "You've got political leadership acting together on behalf of the common good, and you've got security forces demonstrating that capability and a responsibility as a national entity that we've been working to develop and that has now been put to the test and, I think, is proving successful."


WH also stated that black is white, up is down, 2 + 2 = 5. Oh, and look at the pony!

14. They realize most people seeing through it
But it's all they know how to do. They've been doing it all their lives. They can't change.

16. It's not that they are stupid.
It's their automatic assumption that the general public is stupid and will swallow all this endless bull (and unfortunately, an awful lot of people do, especially when its spoonfed to the sheeple by the collaborating whore media like Fox.) No tortured misreading of facts or outright lie is disallowed by this bunch. They said with a straight face, "51% is a mandate." I say in what friggin' bizarro parallel universe? They say, "everything is going great in Iraq"!!!!!! Their assumption that the American public are all idiots starts right at the top too. Rove, Norquist, Cheney, Bush have such utter & obvious contempt for anyone outside of their country club/board room milieu. Those arrogant, sneering smirks don't arise out of a vacuum.

15. It might work...
if Rove blast-faxed to hate radio & cabal "News" tomorrow that the sky is green and the grass was blue, then by Tuesday all the little Limbeciles would be walking around believing it.
