Interesting linguistic note on (R) and (D) debates: Notice how the Republicans
Edited on Tue Mar-27-07 07:30 PM by pinto
*still* hold to Rove's mantra - catapult the propaganda?

If I heard "micromanage" from a Republican once today, in re: the Iraq bill, I heard it a dozen times. They're awfully good at parroting the meme. The Democrats, on the other hand, seemed to be speaking their own minds.

Just an aside.

1. What is that equivalent to?
Holding the rope for the hangman while he tightens it around your neck?

2. I hope some Dems turned the phrase on them....
Something along the lines of ...It's about time someone started managing this war.

3. An attribute if you are a member in the Bootlicker Party.
Being able to read the daily talking points and regurgitate same on cue.
