Bush Administration trying to frame debate over Attorney-Gate

[ck4829]

In a scripted moment of imperial bravado, President Bush held a press conference yesterday to address the scandal over his Attorney General having lied to Congress. Why this sudden move? In a word: framing.

Even more frightening to the Bush administration than being caught putting loyalty to leader above following the law, the Gonzales scandal has lured off the White House PR ranch and into a frame about administration corruption and deceit.

And so, as is par for this President's course whenever the White House is faced with a crisis, the goal of Bush's press appearance was not to inform the American public of any facts, but to force the White House's carefully scripted keywords into the debate--with the hope that journalists and Democrats would repeat them.

So, they sent in the PR keyword "repeaterer" to get the job done.

The following is a list of the 5 keywords dropped by Bush, yesterday--keywords that Americans should repeat only if they want to help President Bush deceive the American public by luring the debate away from the important issue of honesty in government:

resignation

leadership

explanation

incomplete

fishing

3. I beg to differ. The media idiots will fall in line

They got their talking points handouts and are right now busy framing their stories using the RNC approved wordlist.

4. Issue the damn subpeonas NOW!

The longer we drag our feet on this, the more they are going to "frame" some clever shit to take the wind outta our sails... It's the way it alway works these days.

END BLACKWATER!
