Flip-flop and ya don't stop

the road to surfdom;

With it, the Bushies get to claim responsibility for everything from elections in Iraq that they opposed to Gadaffi's eschewal of WMD that was already a done deal, while ignoring inconvenient matters like the absence of WMD in Iraq, the abuses at Abu Ghraib or the civilian deaths in Iraq, to the fact that Afghanistan is well on the road to being a narco state and yes, that Hezbollah are now to be dealt with despite years of saying that they were beyond the pale.

Take credit for the good; ignore the bad; vilify opponents.

It's hard work.

Rising Hegemon explains in another way;

Throughout the Bush Imperium, the pattern has been:

1. Something Happens.

2. Spin immediately and hard that it is the greatest thing EVER!

3. Say it is because of Dear Leader.

4. Move on to next over-the-top declaration of Dear Leader's greatness before anyone notices what happened is not the greatest thing ever, but actually made things worse.

5. Blather, Rinse, Repeat!
