President Bush's use of "happy-talk" is often demonstrably absurd. He'll say, "we're turning the corner on the economy", for instance, while our deficit is breaking records and the latest economic news on job creation is scary-bad.
Sometimes he goes so far he reminds me of Communist Russia. Remember how we used to laugh and laugh at the B.S. the Ruskies would tell their own people.
The news:
US army officials say it could take one to 10 years to crush the insurgency in Iraq: More...
The happy-talk:
President Bush portrayed the ongoing occupation of Iraq in optimistic terms Monday even as the U.S. death toll nears 1,000: Mission accomplished
I don't feel much like laughing now, though maybe the Ruskies are enjoying a good chortle.
