Hall of Mirrors Dept.: Bush Likes Some Bloggers
Drool Fest 2007! Ten military bloggers got a special briefing from the President after his prime-time speech Iraq last week.
In this meeting, Ward Carroll of Military.com said the president seemed more comfortable with his message than on TV. We’re led to believe Bush’s becomes articulate when surrounded by hand-picked pro-Bush and pro-war supporters probably because he can say “Scrabble-ma-jangles” without judgment.
Carrol described the President’s performance in front of the blogger round-table:
“No deer-in-the-headlights stuff here. Truly unwavering and passionate.”
Apparently, the standard for unwavering presidential passion has been boiled down to looking less like a fawn frozen before its slaughter than one usual does.
Facts on the ground notwithstanding, he believes the United States can win the Iraq War. And to be honest, being around him made me believe it at that moment too.”
I would hate for facts to withstand the thrall of the President’s most recent victory pep rally among the loyal.
