2. Tweety had her on Hardball for what seemed like an eternity last night
Looks like we've reached the "media blitz" stage. Today is supposed to be the last in the series of Junior's Iraq infomercials, so Mama Karen must be bringin' up the rear.
When I saw her on Hardball, I switched and found her on CNN. It was obvious that this is more of the multi-scenario strategy they planned to get Bush's numbers back up.
3. She also quoted a fictional poll to claim Iraqi's were happy and hopeful
and Laur surprisingly said something like "Wow there must be too many polls because this one done by the Brookings institutions says (cites the real numbers) the exact opposite."
Then she waffled on until they cut the interview, stammering all the way.
This lady really gets the verbage and the bullshit out and fast. Watching her for a few minutes on Tweety last night, I couldn't help notice how nervous she appeared...and how it manifested itself in fast talking...getting out as many of those talking points as possible...along with a lot of rapid eye movement. She definitely looks like she was planted there to astroturf bigtime...play up the "improving" numbers and try to "say what we mean as opposed to what we actually do". Shameless.
The blitz is on...trying to somehow get back some "popularity"...in what I call the dead cat bounce. This regime will take 45 percent approval ratings and claim it's a mandate for change. They're playing up this "election" in Iraq as some great triumph. To me, that's like saying the 1933 elections in Germany were a success as well.
