The Brittle Hum of the Republic

The Bush quote (from the WH site, no less):

See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda. (Applause.)  http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2005/05/20050524-3.html

And, as The Weekly Standard’s Stephen Hayes said on CNN:

[T]here’s an ongoing Bush legacy project that’s been meeting in the White House, really, with senior advisers, Karl Rove, Karen Hughes has been involved, current senior Bush administration advisers and they are looking at how to sort of roll out the President’s legacy.  http://videocafe.crooksandliars.com/heather/stephen-hayes-bush-administration-working
