Tony Snow: Grad of Cowboy Media Training

So I am reading this little piece on how the Cuban exiles suspect Castro photos are fakes.

We have the unnamed "US Official" on the topic: "Given the fact that he had major surgery two weeks ago, he looks pretty good for a man his age," a U.S. official said, adding that intelligence officials were conducting further analysis. "There is no reason to doubt the authenticity of the photos."

And then we have Shrub's Cowboy: White House spokesman Tony Snow disagreed, telling reporters on Monday: "First you have the cheesy Photoshop picture. At least the second one was a little better."

There must be some Haliburton Consulting group who offer Cowboy Media Training where they encourage White House staff to say things like "cheesy photoshop picture" on record.

I have also read several articles that Bush is planning to attack Cuba. Because we don't have enough yee-haw wars in progress.

This week's DNC Women Vote Center Week in Review leads with a headline "THE GOP PLAYBOOK: FEAR-MONGERING AND DESPERATE TACTICS" which reminds me of the dailykos coverage of poorly timed GOP fundraising email.
