True Facts

Stray Thoughts from Don Alejandro

During a so-called “roundtable interview” (i.e., propaganda-op) on Monday, Bush continued not commenting on Karl Rove (except for declaring his complete confidence in Rove) by offering the following gem, "Why don't you wait and see what the true facts are?"

True facts?  Is it just me or does that seem redundantly repetitive?  Isn’t a “fact” true by definition?  Of course, in the Orwellian world of Bush Ad-speak, “true facts” sounds more like a double plus oxymoron than a reference to exceptionally true information, at least to anyone not lobotomized by Faux News and the rest of the mainstream media. 

But I have to acknowledge that Bush does seem to be speaking a sort of truth in his own way, if by “true facts” Bush means the same sort of facts referred to in the Downing St. Memo ("facts" that were being “fixed” to suit the administration’s desire for war). 

Sure enough, Robert Novak and other Rovents appear to be busy fabricating “true facts” to protect Bush’s Brain (aka Turdblossom).  You see, in BushWorld “true facts” are created by repeating lies through compliant media megaphones, as during the run-up to war.
