I work in the field of Substance Abuse Prevention and recovery and we often refer back to the elephant in the room. I think it could apply to Bush and the MSM as well.
The Elephant in The Room by Terry Kettering
There's an elephant in the room. It is large and squatting, so it is hard to get around it. Yet we squeeze by with "How are you?" and "I'm fine"... And a thousand other forms of trivial chatter.
We talk about the weather. We talk about work. We talk about everything else... Except the elephant in the room. We all know it is there.
We are thinking about the elephant as we talk together. It is constantly on our minds. For, you see, it is a very big elephant. It has hurt us all. But we do not talk about the elephant in the room. Oh, please, let's talk about the elephant in the room.
For if we talk about her death, Perhaps we can talk about her life.
For if I cannot, then you are leaving me alone... in a room... with an elephant.
