America gets hit in the eye by 60 Minutes

Ex-Office of Naval Intelligence officer Bob Woodward talks to Mike Wallace last night and they compete to see who can fawn over Bush the most. They're talking about Woodward's new puff-piece, "Bush at War".

In a PR brilliant solution to Bush's lack of intelligence, Woodward uses out-of-context audio clips, without playing the interview itself, in an attempt to find statements by Bush that make sense, and to avoid the usual Bush stupidities. However, one got through:

"I don't have to explain myself. I'm the President."
-- George Bush Junior

The Royal Presidency, brought to you by the largest PR operation on the planet, paid by your taxes.

This program last night was the first national test of a new key phrase of Bush propaganda you'll be hearing more of in the press: "World Peace".

The funny part of that was Mike Wallace said he was envious that he wouldn't live long enough to see it... Don't worry Mike, neither will anyone else as long as the Terrorism Admininstration is in office.
