I want one of these former Genreals turned talking heads, or better yet someone from the Admin., to sit down with a grieving widow and her six month old and explain that "every thing is going according to plan" and all of this negative stuff is just a vast left wing conspiracy. Don't know if anyone has seen the esteemed Bob Arnot on MSNBC, but he's doing a hell of a job of avoiding cheap political statement in his reporting. . .feel like I'm watching Pravda TV. >From: "B.
