Starting to think all flat screens on the wall have cameras, they’ll all be turned on in 2009, and that Orwell really meant 2084.

“Day by day and almost minute by minute the past was brought up to date. In this way every prediction made by the Party could be shown by documentary evidence to have been correct, nor was any item of news, or any expression of opinion, which conflicted with the needs of the moment, ever allowed to remain on record. All history was a palimpsest, scraped clean and reinscribed exactly as often as was necessary. In no case would it have been possible, once the deed was done, to prove that any falsification had taken place. The largest section of the Records Department, far larger than the one on which Winston worked, consisted simply of persons whose duty it was to track down and collect all copies of books, newspapers, and other documents which had been superseded and were due for destruction. A number of The Times which might, because of changes in political alignment, or mistaken prophecies uttered by Big Brother, have been rewritten a dozen times still stood on the files bearing its original date, and no other copy existed to contradict it. Books, also, were recalled and rewritten again and again, and were invariably reissued without any admission that any alteration had been made. Even the written instructions which Winston received, and which he invariably got rid of as soon as he had dealt with them, never stated or implied that an act of forgery was to be committed: always the reference was to slips, errors, misprints, or misquotations which it was necessary to put right in the interests of
accuracy.” – 1984

You mean his statements were ERASED from the State Department’s web site…

Funny OT, but sadly accurate.

They just love rewriting history.

“It’s not what you know that’s true, it’s what we tell you is true.”

And the 30%ers just lap it up like candy.

Just remember, next time your boss sends you your appraisal…

Johnny, hard worker, popular with his colleagues, but swears like trooper and must control himself better to be truly a credit to the firm.

With a bit of redaction:

Johnny, hard worker, popular with his colleagues, *************** *********************************** ***************** truly a credit to the firm.

The official transcript of his comments on the State Departmentâ€™s website has also disappeared, although they can still be found at AEIâ€™s site here.

This administration has a serious problem with their organizational abilities.

I wish Condi would buy some ruby slippers, tap her heels together, and say “there’s no place like home” thus disappearing from public life. Oh, and her little dogs, too.

Dumbya, your appointees are supposed to be competent individuals in their specific fields, not boot-licking, mindless puppets, LIKE YOU.

Bill Richardson is the only person deserving any credit for N.Korea.

Diplomacy is hard work, & apparently no Bushlicker was qualified.

Condi should be sharply rebuked for practicing diplomacy. She’s in over her head, takes orders from Cheney and doesn’t even look good in her new shoes.

Wire-tapping people’s conversation without court order is OK.
A public servant voicing an opinion is not OK.
OK?

Yesterday, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice â€œsharply rebukedâ€ Lefkowitz for undermining the administrationâ€™s claims of success in the six-party talks.

Wow.

Sorry to go off topic, but I just saw this on the Think Fast section. I also saw it on Comcast:

“A new study by the Center for Public Integrity and the Fund for Independence in Journalism found that President Bush and his top officials issued 935 false statements about the threat from Iraq in the two years following 9/11. Bush â€œled with 259 false statements, 231 about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and 28 about Iraqâ€™s links to al Qaeda.â€

Hopefully TP will do a full post on this later today. If this story doesn’t light a fire under the MSM and motivate people to push for impeachment, it’s all over for our country.

Just like the old Soviet Union, disappearing the news that doesn’t fit the propaganda.

Congrats Bushie!

This is just one tiny part of the continuous rewriting of history by the Bush crime gang.
