Wasted effort...
... in an effort to repackage George Bush as a president for peace.

like polishing a turd...


This one is much more likely to have success than Radio SAWA, for example.

The entire idea of repackaging Bush has nothing to do with convincing his enemies across the planet or those who are inclined to vote for the Democratic candidate.

What the PR people are attempting here is to make sure that the Bush faithful aren't inclined to wander off the reservation due to doubts about Bush's real character as a ruthless imperialist pig. This sort of PR is intended to continue the so-far-successful mythmaking those positions Bush as a righteous and moral "man of the people".

As they say, you can fool some of the people all the time, and all of the people some of the time. But if you're George Bush, you only have to fool your faithful on election day. Barring the Stalin syndrome, of course...
