Last night it was Bush, accusing congressional Democrats of staging political theatre over the Attorneygate hearings whilst himself flanked by theatrical props, ie military families:
Bush appeared at the White House alongside veterans and family members of troops to accuse Democrats of staging nothing more than “political theater” that delays the delivery of resources to soldiers fighting in Iraq.
This morning it’s this headline re corrupt US attorney general Alberto Gonzales:
Gonzales Launches PR Campaign
Will Tour And Letters Of Support From Latino And Law Enforcement Groups Burnish Embattled AG’s Image?
A PR campaign? It’s a little bit late for that, surely?
I’ll give Bushco one thing, they are at least consistent: anything and everything they do gets spun. Sometimes they spin so hard and so fast they disappear up their own arsesholes in a puff of ridiculousness.
But what do they care as long as the actual truth is muddied by falsehood? The mainstream media will report this, as they do all other Bushco spin, as though it were gospel. I predict that by next week the conservative media narrative will be ’embattled yet brave president and his unfairly picked-upon Hispanic hero sidekick’. Job done.
