The media is like Arlo's "Group W" bench....
They are trying to rehabilitate Dubya Bush.

All the mother rapers and father stabbers and father rapers and torturers and liars and criminals of all stripes.

We are supposed to look at Dubya in a different way. We are not supposed to see the true person he is. And "Group W" is working overtime to persuade us otherwise...

1. they worked long and hard on St. Ronnie.
And they managed to turn one of the more unpopular former presidents into a demi-god, at least among the right wingers. Recall how 6-8 yrs after his last term, there were all these pushes to rename federal buildings, airports, even an air craft carrier after him?

Watch the same thing happen here.

3. But who's buying?
Has the media been selling that snakeoil? There is a big difference in a politician trying to sell an idea and the entire media.

4. the media HAS been selling that snakoil for years
that h-1b slows outsourcing when in fact it accelerates it, according to India

the 'outsourcing is good' is just a new spin

i'm just saying that a political/media machine that sells bankrupting the middle/working classes is a good thing should not surprise you when it says W is rehabilitatable

you shouldnt be surprised by any lie it tells
