Record levels of lying, bullshit, bluster, bravado, irrelevant documents, dirty backroom massacres, triumphant pronouncements. The hope is to totally confuse the Washington news reporting monkeys, getting them to go over to faith-based reporting of all the stuff that's overwhelming them.

The guess in the White House seems to be that there's still an untapped reservoir of good will and benefit of the doubt out there. I don't know whether that is a good gamble or not, but I'm quite happy that they're franticly shoveling all the reserves of political capital that they have onto the bonfire. Burn, baby, burn.

Maybe they will succeed in quelling this outbreak. But chances are the mainstream media will admit it's the abused spouse in their relationship with the WH now.
