When the media says (BLANK) about Bush, it really means (BLANK)

[Sandpiper]

Let's make a guide for what all of the spin really means!

"Bush is a plain speaker" - Bush is functionally retarded

"Bush stays on message" = Bush regurgitates the same talking point over and over

"Bush connected with viewers emotionally" = Bush taps into fears by hyping terror thread

"Bush had many thoughtful pauses" = Bush's brain stumbles around trying to push something to his lips

"Bush has a simple message" = Bush is a simpleton

"Bush has unwavering conviction" = Bush is incapable of admitting a mistake

"Bush is a deeply religious man" = Bush traded alcoholism for fundamentalism


Jump in and add your own!!!

1. Good list! I can't add any better than those. EOM

2. Bush is a fearless leader = he has no idea how screwed he is

I guess the media doesn't say that line, but your list is a great start. We should translate other spin from the right.

5. Does that mean ...

Karl Rove = Boris Badenov

Karen Hughes = Natasha Fatale

Hokey Smoke, I had no idea they were foreign agents ...

6. Karl Rove =

eenie, meenie, chili beanie, the spirits are about to speak.

Unfortunately for America, Karl and Karen are far smarter than Boris and Natasha.

BTW, with 3 or 4 beers, I can do a mean Bullwinkle impersonation.

7. I've never seen Bullwinkle mean in my life

but with almost a sixpack I guess you can fake it

3. "Bush is a compassionate conservative"

means "He likes to harm in any way possible ever non white protestant male out there by either killing them outright or taking their money and giving it to his rich white refucklican friends"

[soleft]

4. Bush is steadfast and resolute

Bush's handlers won't let him deviate from their fascist ideology
