This Week's Best Description of the Bush Strategy

From Matt Taibbi over at Rolling Stone:
Up until now this president's solution to everything has been to stare into the cameras, lie and keep on lying until such time as the political problem disappears. And now, unable to comprehend that while political crises may wilt in the face of such tactics, real crises do not, he and his team are responding to this first serious feet-to-the-fire Iraq emergency in the same way they always have -- with a fusillade of silly, easily disprovable bullshit. Bush and his mouthpieces continue to try to obfuscate and cloud the issue of why we're in Iraq, and they do so not only selectively but constantly, compulsively, like mental patients who can't stop jacking off in public. They don't know the difference between a real problem and a political problem, because to them, there is no difference. What could possibly be worse than bad poll numbers?
Right on the money. The money shot, so to speak.

"mental patients who can't stop jacking off in public"

Best description of the Bush Admin. I've ever heard.

Pretty soon, mental patients who can't stop jacking off in public will be referred to as "Bush administration officials who can't stop lying in public."
