Arianna Huffington -- "The White House Reloaded"


Maybe Karl Rove has moved his office into the Matrix. Maybe Laurence Fishburne is auditioning for Ari Fleischer's job. Maybe it's all just a bad dream: "The White House Reloaded."

I've been racking my brain, trying to reconcile the ever-widening chasm between what the White House claims to be true and what is actually true. After all, we know the president and his men are not stupid. And despite the tidal wave of misinformation pouring out of their mouths, I don't believe they are consciously lying.

The best explanation I can come up with for the growing gap between their rhetoric and reality is that we are being governed by a gang of out-and-out fanatics.

Too nice, she has that problem. They are out-and-out lying fanactics. Occam's Razor, the most simple explanation is the most likely. It is easier to believe that they are lying because of fanctical beliefs then that they are fanactics who are somehow unable to see the truth.
