"In my judgment" ... ???
Look up "oxymoron" in the dictionary and you will probably find that quote from Dubbyah. Look up "moron" and you will find his picture. Anyone who read the Frank Rich book "The Greatest Story Ever Sold" will understand the strategy inherent in such dumb-assed statements. As Karl Rove is quoted at the outset of the book, "we [Bushies] make reality. You [reporters] just repeat it." The inference is that as long as we say it, enough of the right wing Kool-Aid drinkers will dutifully report it and the perception will, indeed, become the reality. Someone forgot to tell Rove and the other lunatics that the fat lady is singing at their party. The ability to create reality died when credibility got sick. This is an administration so steeped in lies, deception, and deceit that they haven't a clue themselves about what's real and what's their contrived reality. While the Limbaughs and O'Reillys and the Malkins and the Coulters can still spout and spew their venom like so many agitated reptiles, the mainstream American knows that the gig is up. The real problem will be how to clean the stage after the elephants depart.
