Whore Media "Shocked" by Staged Media Event???????
Why is the Whore Media suddenly up in arms about the Bush Administration using the troops for propaganda purposes? Does the Whore Media think we don't remember the staged Press Conference right at the beginning of the Iraq War where the Whore Media was used for propaganda at a staged Presidential Press Conference where every question was screened in advanced and all reporters were picked out before hand?

2. Don't forget the toppling of the Saddam statue
That, too, was a staged event. But that revelation was hastily forgotten.

4. With Dick Cheney's knees & Karl Rove's kidney stones, they have no boss
to keep them in line. They are just running wild ... and doing their jobs.

5. I don't think they're shocked that the event was staged!
I think they're SHOCKED that this Admin. has acted this stupid!

I heard Keith Olberman ask Dana Milbank "What has happened to this administration that began with Shrub standing on a mound of dirt in NY with a bullhorn, an to this disaster today?"

Dana said it was the curse of Cindy Sheehan!

Something really has gone very wrong with the entire administration! I have to admit, even I am surprised that they're screwing up at everything they do!

6. They're jealous.
It used to THEM getting to play make-believe with the president, not the soldiers.

7. Plastic turkeys, "Made in USA" boxes that weren't...
EVERYTHING was staged. I'll bet even the almost-lethal pretzel never existed.

9. Hilarious. Absolutely hilarious.
Did you see it???? Soldiers reading from teleprompter, trying to act natural. Bush bumbling around, trying to act natural. The only guy who was truly off-the-cuff was the Iraqi guy who told the president, "I like yous."

FW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

11. What is it going to take?
What is it going to take for the American public and the Media to reach their breaking point and awaken from the unending nightmare of the Bush administration? EVERYTHING this evil bunch does is staged, pre-screened, photo-op'ed, rigged, manipulated, jiggered, scripted, pre-arranged, etc. Do Bush, Cheney and Rove have to nuke Iran, or goosestep down Pennsylvania Avenue in Nazi uniforms and personally open up the first concentration camp (Michelle Malkin would be thrilled) before the public, our silent and spineless congresspeople and the mainstream media start screaming and fighting back? We have the Quagmire War, the mindblowing Deficit, the "Patriot Act" (i.e. "let's dismantle the Constitution"), Abu Ghraib, a tax code beneficial only for the wealthiest, our international reputation destroyed, a stacked Supreme Court, rampant & audacious cronyism (Halliburton, etc.) --- and plenty more where that came from. What more is it going to take? It's as if the Bush administration keeps throwing huge shit pies in everyone's faces and no one objects. I'm praying the 2006 Congressional elections will finally give these bastards the rebuke they need.

14. I'm really beginning to think
there's a lot of back-stabbing going on within their administration...with so many being investigated...perhaps they want a new Prez (*yikes*)...I mentioned this on another post...cause like you, I'm baffled at "why now".."what's really going on"...a movie script couldn't be this interesting.

This is my reality tv. I'm hooked.

15. Bush is no different now than he was 5 years ago
and suddenly press is "shocked" that he would pull something like this.


They've all known all along, but were simply too scared to say anything about it.

17. yah you're right about that too of course...
perhaps the media have been given the "ok" to report "whatever" on Bush...so what's the corporate agenda? saving their "butt"...wanting new leadership...protecting the Republican Party from further decline by letting Bush fall? I find it insulting (strange word I know) that this type of reporting is just now seeing the light of day (glad it is but also really P.O'd at the media for not doing their job properly from day one)...they only have "permission" to report "truth" when Democrats are in power - or that's how it looks to the "untrained" eye

16. The Media isn't afraid of Bush any more. I think he had them
scared to report anything bad a while back. They were afraid Rove would fuck them over! Well Rove is about to get his ass handed to him and with aproval ratings so low they over the heads of China men, the Bush administration is impotent now. The Press can do their jobs now without fear now.

18. We are at a hsitoric turning point
this will is it, most likely than not

We have read of pitchforks and torches (Detroit daily News), of Revolution and uprisings (callers to the randhi rhodes show, among others), and now the AP told us what we alerady knew and poor kid at the daily briefing, he got a booboo... that is what is going on
