Gubmit Knows Best

Atrios linked to the same article earlier and something caught my eye: how little his handlers have Colonel Klink saying anymore. It is a bad sign when every presentation is nothing more than tired bromides like this:

"The enemy is resorting to desperate acts of violence because they know the establishment of democracy in Iraq will be a double defeat for them," Bush said in his weekly radio address as he saluted the emergence of a permanent government.

"There will be more tough fighting ahead in Iraq and more days of sacrifice and struggle," he cautioned. "Yet, the enemies of freedom have suffered a real blow in recent days, and we have taken great strides on the march to victory."

I know, I know they have been saying nothing for years. This is how we know how bad things are--there is nothing, literally nothing good to say except we are making great strides on the march to victory. Gives you goose bumps doesn't it?
