Hurry! Hurry! - Save The Kings' Image!

If you don't believe me in my previous posts HERE and HERE that there is a deliberate campaign underway to spin the events surrounding hurricane Katrina (especially the Bush directed response), think again. As can be seen in The NYT it has already been done. In other words, the puppet-master who pulls King George's strings is on the job. The effort is being directed by Mr. Bush's chief political adviser, Karl Rove, and his communications director, Dan Bartlett. It began late last week after Congressional Republicans called White House officials to register alarm about what they saw as a feeble response by Mr. Bush to the hurricane, according to Republican Congressional aides. As a result, Americans watching television coverage of the disaster this weekend began to see, amid the destruction and suffering, some of the most prominent members of the administration - Richard B. Myers, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; Donald H. Rumsfeld, the secretary of defense; and Condoleezza Rice, the secretary of state - touring storm-damaged communities. And of course the talking heads will be quick to accommodate their meal-ticket that is the Rove directed White House. Republicans said the administration's effort to stanch the damage had been helped by the fact that convoys of troops and supplies had begun to arrive by the time the administration officials turned up. All of those developments were covered closely on television. These sick, evil-minded bastards think of only one thing and believe me it sure as hell isn't the victims of this catastrophe . Image and the power it gives is all they care about. That's the reason the networks were NOT ALLOWED to show us, the great unwashed, film of flag draped caskets or the injured returning from Iraq, and that is why now the press will be allowed LESS ACCESS (the troops will claim it is too dangerous to go there therefore "access restricted") to what is really happening in the flood ravaged areas of the Gulf Coast and MORE ACCESS to sound bites from a select few administration-approved officials and pictures of competent aid being given. Who will care that it is FIVE OR SIX DAYS TOO LATE!!!! After all, these "refugees" (God I hate that term), should have known better and evacuated when told to. For example, administration officials who went on television on Sunday were instructed to avoid getting drawn into exchanges about the problems of the past week, and to turn the discussion to what the government is doing now. They are evil, fascist, bastards all of them. And their enablers in the MSM are just as bad and all too willing to play the game.
