Personally, I laughed my arse off at Colbert's speech.

And apparently Gawker agrees:

I do the damn songs around here and don't you forget it:

You Spin me right round, AU
Right round like a record, AU
Right round round round
You spin me right round, AU
Right round like a record, AU
Right round round round

All I know is that to me
You look like a big fool
Opening up your mouth now
Watch out here it comes

All politics is spin, it's not limited to ideology it's a tool of the business. Make your mistakes look less crushing, your minor victories look like great ones and your opponents look like idiots. That's why people are shocked when politicians tell the whole truth, because it's so rare it's noteworthy.

Yes, dancing is acceptable, except the hokey cokey, that is PirateNews's dance.

i agree about the spin being used by all politicians, i'm just saying that i think the right wing does a better job.... they have some infamous hatchet men in their corner....

And, a truthful politician ?.....boy, that takes me back.... I'm on a constant lookout for those guys....

Yuck, spin. Yeah, politics is full of it. The problem comes when explanation is mistaken for spin and vice versa. Such a slippery slope. The world has become a forum of soundbites instead of rhetoric and intelligent dialogue. Too bad...
