From The "Surprise!Surprise!" Department: Media seems surprised that Rove lied to them (again) about Iraq (again) - AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth: "Rove lies. It's not that complicated. He lies.
For years, all the pundit-types used to gobble up Rove's lies. He's still doing it. But now, reporters seem genuinely surprised that Rove would lie about the Iraq war. I should say, lie again about the Iraq war.
Actually, media, you should know by now, really you should know, that if Rove says something, it's probably not true. He's got no power now -- and he's still playing you for a bunch of patsies."
it must have a mighty big turnip truck that all the believers fell off.
ReplyDeleteI think it was a barge.
ReplyDeleteTIME'S DISCRIMINATION
ReplyDeleteWe do not manufacture truth
But catch it, like a gleam
In someone´s eye--the vendor´s booth
Sells not shrinkwrapped esteem.
Though manufactured be consent
For such a thing as war
Or other evil--somnolent
They go, as were before
Sleepwalkers or somnambulist
Inherently in conscience:
They bring some icon to be kissed
But spring--a beast on haunches--
When there is gold or some advantage
To gain illicitly:
It passes, while the truer vintage
Remains perpetually.
In time the causes for the war
Reveal themselves a fraud,
While the adherents, plaudits for
No longer can applaud.
Truth is not manufactured, but
Like fixed within the mind
Of God, can no abridgement cut
Though salesmen are inclined.
So I will go unto my death
Not worried over reputation--
It were a waste of mind and breath--
But trust to time´s discrimination.
