Frank Luntz, is a highly regarded conservative wordsmith. Famous for such lines as "Clear Skies" or "Healthy Forrest" used by Bush Administration. While watching him on TV promoting his new book. I thought, How interesting, a conservative hero is a man who has made a living coming up with names for things they are not. Which implies an acknowledgement and conscience effort to deceive. Conservative always pick the strangest people to elevate to hero status. Almost everyone of the big names has a cloud of questionable ethics or morals over their heads. Look who some of the common "News Analysts" on the Fox News Channel. Newt Gingrich, G. Gordon Liddy, Oliver North, Henry Kissenger and the oddest one of all Dick Morris. A former Democrat turned Republican who got caught having an affair with a prostitute. I guess it probably some type of defense machanism. In any movement comes a sense of being under attack. A fallen leader is seen as a victim, unfairly persecuted. In simpler terms Denial, a little more complexly Denial with pushback. It would be like having Cardinal Law on Bill O'Reilly to discuss sexual preditors in Vermont. LIBBY TRIAL UPDATE: Can you believe anything that comes out of Dick Cheney's mouth? (see poll)
