Our administration can no longer pretend that everything is great, that all is well, help is on the way, when the pictures and interviews say the opposite. Finally our beloved media, who fiddled while BushCo sashayed us into Iraq, cannot ignore the lies, deception and incompetence. I guess it's easy to let such things as Swift Boat lies slide--that stuff is all part of the fun and games of politics. But this disaster cannot be spun aside. It's not a game, and it's no longer fun.
The media giant is waking up from a deep slumber, rubbing the Jesus dust out of its eyes, and seeing clearly. Politics ain't beanbag, as the great Mayor Harold Washington famously said. And politics has left a major American city devastated.
CNN documents the lies, so far. They call it the disconnect. More like a chasm, a gulf, a vast expansive wasteland between reality and spin.
