Bush Administration Maintains: George W. Bush Is Pure


This morning I was watching NBC's Today Show with Matt Laurer interviewing Kitty Kelly about her scandalous new book, "The Family: The Real Story of the Bush Dynasty."

One of her "shocking revelations" is her claim that George W. snorted cocaine @ Camp David during his daddy's term as president based on her interview/luncheon with George W's ex-sister-in-law.

Of course she denied those claims when Matt interviewed her.
My main concern here is not whether or not George W. snorted... because it doesn't take much intelligence to assess that in this country, when you're part of the right-wing, white ruling class, have lots of money and little discipline, you have the ingredients for a bored destructive trust fund baby.

I'm bewildered that Matt Laurer went to such lengths to discredit Kelly, or rather defend the integrity of George W., the current standing president--as if there was any left to uphold. Statements like,
Matt: "Why would you come out with such a book just 50 days shy of a major election?
Kelly: "Why not?"

It's that predominant trend among corporate media outlets that scare me--like Nazi propaganda scary.

Are there any brave reporters left who can successfully challenge the right without the overriding fear of losing corporate sponsors.
Why is it so difficult for mainstream America to believe that George W. could possibly be a spoiled rich kid who's capable of lying? So this current accusation clashes with the time frame within which George W. claims he found his spiritual alignment with God after his brief stint with weed. So what?
Is he above lying because he happens to occupy the position of president? How is that radical ideology? It's being human.

But grouping the many "accusations" of the president's personality and ideological flaws radical liberalism is just another M.O. the mainstream right uses to suppress critical debate and discredit free thinkers. Who does that remind us of???

These are the folks who will be reporting on the upcoming elections and gathering polls and announcing the election results...ughh!
