Frank Rich: Hyperbole as numbing as Muzak

.... You knew things had gotten out of hand when CNN's Anderson Cooper invited an expert from the "Grief Recovery Institute" to instruct the nation: "Today I'm saying we need to feel sad." Or when C-Span broadcast late-night video of Americans trooping past Reagan's coffin in the Capitol's rotunda. (Though those mourners were often touted as representative of the entire nation, you could nod off counting the white visitors before a black person appeared.) ....

As we now know, the former president's aides and family had devised some of the funeral settings years in advance through a secret plan they code-named Operation Serenade: the camera angles and sunset timing of the California service, the distribution of 50,000 small American flags to extras organized along the route. Such cinematic touches no doubt seemed clever when the Reaganauts first hatched them, but by the time of his death they were as dated as "Bedtime for Bonzo." ....

LMAO.

Couldn't help thinking about all the freeper comments about the sunset, e.g., "You can't tell me that the hand of God wasn't at work..as the sun dropped behind the mountains...BLAH, BLAH, BLAH..."

Nothing like multi-purpose propaganda. GLAD I MISSED MOST OF THE reagarm. I tried to listen to Bush*'s eulogy, but couldn't. I reached my point of poison saturation a long time ago.
