Fox News' Eric Bolling: 'I Don't Remember' Any Terrorist Attacks On America During President Bush's

114. Memory Hole

In the novel, IIRC, Winston Smith labored at MiniTrue and had to make changes in the historical record by hand -- one article at a time. He'd edit: "We have always been at war with Eastasia" into "We have always been at war with Eurasia."

Today, we have the marvel of the programmable computer. Who needs a Party and its Outer Members when all you need to do to correct the historical record is to click a mouse or press a key?

Nowhere on the tee vee and in no school history textbooks that I've come across over the past 12 years mention Bush getting warned bin Laden was determined to fly jet planes into buildings at the Genoa G-8 summit that summer; that smirking bastard Crisco John Ashcroft stopped flying commercial in August; or even that the CIA bigwigs gave Bush a personal heads-up at the vacation spread in Crawford only to be told: "All right. You've covered your ass."

They should. Democracy depends on an informed People. Or, at least it used to.
