BREAKING: "The Surge" has been an unqualified success thanks to George Bush

Advertisements [?]

It's on every so-called "news" program this morning. The anchors are making sure Americans know that George W. Bush, despite his terrible standing among the public, was relentless in demanding -- and getting -- what he wanted from Congress, and it has paid off. Success has been delivered to Iraq! They even showed a chart and graph to "prove" it.

Once again, all I can think of is Gary Kasparov asking Bill Maher, re: Putin's high approval rating, "How do you know."

Well, BECAUSE THEY TOLD US SO, of course!

Back in the day, an actual journalist would fact-check this kind of bullshit. Now they just read the WH press release and then move on the celebrity panty-check.
