Watched "Wag the Dog" again...

It seems very chilling to watch it now, after 5 years of GW Bush.

When I first saw it back in 1999 I thought the film was hilarious. Now it seems like Carl Rove must of used it as a "How to Spin the Presidency" manual.

When you add it all up....911, Iraq, Jessica Lynch, Terri Shaivo, Katrina and all the other bizzarre happenings around Bush....I feel like I've been watching a movie....

The spin is simply dizzying sometimes.

I agree, it appears that they have dressed their set well, hired the appropriate actors too. What they hadn't figured on was the "understudy's" leaking the truth behind the magic quite so often.

If we just find a few more patriots on the inside, we might finally see the whole picture and stop the show.
