LOS ANGELES, April 5, 2004 (www.columnleft.com) -- It's times like these that make you wish they'd developed a reality-based version of the Bush Presidency.
If Nixon lied and Reagan-Bush dissembled, then these folks have done nothing less than shape shift the truth to their own will, much as primitive man once learned to work metal to make tools. With a desperate election coming in just over 200 days, Mr. Bush and his boss, Dick Cheney, have been very busy translating unpleasant actual events into soft patriotic newspeak.
Consider Baghdad. Everything's going great in Saigon on the Tigris.
Just listen to L. Paul Bremer, if you can hear him over the small arms fire.
Our glorious Neocon-led victory in Iraq is packaged for the world by Mr. Bremer's Coalition Provisional Authority infoganda team of loyal right-wing retainers. They called the media's honest news coverage of Iraq "extraordinarily one-sided," with its focus on dramatic, bloody events. Ms. Rend Rahim, Representative of the Iraqi Governing Council (IGC) to the United States, said, "the reality is nothing like what you see on television."
She's absolutely right...
