NPR had audio (!) on All Things Considered of the preparation for a highly-scripted teleconference that the Dear Leader had with 10 soldiers in Tikrit. The DL wanted to show us how wonderful things are just before the referendum this weekend. One of the president's minions went so far as to play the part of the Dear Leader for the practice Q&A. Scotty "Goebbels" McClellan subsequently told the press that the event wasn't choreographed nor was it "staged." When cornered, Scotty suggested the reporters contact DOD.
Who ya' gonna' believe ... me, or your own two eyes? Groucho Marx
The Defeatists have a somewhat different take.
UPDATE: Do you believe it? Moonbat Malkin says no way it was scripted! Shakespeare's Sister says: "Was so!"
CNN had video -- and talked about "pulling back the curtain" on Bush. It's on again right now. Scotty's acting all offended that anyone would question the sincerity of our troops.

See Groucho Marx quote above - if THIS doesn't convince those Bush voters that the Dear Leader has no clothes, I can't think of anything that will ...

I was just listening to this on the way home from work and actually thought, "this is job for agitprop." How many times does the curtain get pulled back on the wizard before the public wakes up? When does that grand battleship the U.S.S. Spin go into the watery depths?
