Winning hearts and minds by orchestrating WH propaganda into a Hollyrove production.

In a taxpayer-funded effort to candy-coat the horrible news coming out of the Iraq fiasco, the Bushies are attempting to shoot the messenger - Fox Nooze style!

That followed a redesigning of the podium from which news conferences are held, with two large flat-screen monitors now installed to carry slick Powerpoint presentations the military is using to show off operations and tout successes.

A large, deep-blue seal representing the US-led Coalition Provisional Authority now hangs prominently behind the podium, right in front of TV cameras, with the words "Justice, Freedom, Liberty, Security" written around its border.
"There's definitely a feel of the White House about all this," said a correspondent for a Washington newspaper.
