If GW were caught "enjoying" a sheep, how would the media spin it?
Edited on Sat Apr-03-04 11:40 PM by Enraged_Ape
Because you KNOW they would, even something as heinous as this, and even if he were captured on high-definition video. The bought-and-paid-for media would work themselves into a 24/7/52 frothing frenzy to make sure we knew that getting caught in an indiscretion with a sheep is really not so bad, and that it is just patently UNFAIR and DESPERATE for the Democrats to bring such a thing up during an election year.

But HOW would they accomplish this? Of course Wolf Blitzer or Brit Hume would say something ridiculous to smooth over such an outrageous thing, but what would they say?

This is actually a serious question. It shows that there is no end to the creativity that the American "Pravda" press will show in trying to sell us a drooling, incompetent, insane, drug-and-drink-addled moron as President.

6. George Bush personally inspecting for mad cow disease.
Edited on Sat Apr-03-04 11:50 PM by aquart
Which Iraqi scientists are reported to have secretly implanted in herds of future lamb chops, heinously destined for American tables.

Edited to say that Democrats are insisting that sheep don't carry mad cow disease.

12. I can see this happening
Along with a bunch of folksy bullcrap about how Bush learned how to take such good care of these gentle creatures on his Crawford farm, Mr. Animal Husbandry of the Year that he is.

20. There would be no denial, no "smoothing" over
just a blatant non-sequitur:

"It's for the good of the Iraqi people!" :crazy:

21. Locking
While the point that the author of this thread is trying to make is understandable, the whole premise behind this thread is inappropriate. There are less explicit ways to communicate a point than the example provided
