Fake Schock - Real Awe

The NY Times breaks a big one.

What strikes me is not that they did it. It’s how well they did it. Organized media manipulation. This has always been the single realm of competency in the Bush Administration. From Judith Miller to Plamegate. Blackout the caskets and take fake walks through fortressed markets. Whatever else you say about them, the Rove Gang really knew how to “catapult the propaganda.”

Sure wish they had mustered some of that energy toward governing.
