You're Spreading Something

Bush, in his radio address today:

... we're spreading the hope of freedom across the broader Middle East.

Bush has given up on spreading actual freedom, and has now settled for merely the hope of freedom.

Next month, Bush will combat hunger in America by asking those in need of food to simply imagine a sandwich.

It all sounds a bit like when Fearless Leader downgraded the ominous threat of mushroom clouds over our citites to hand-wringing over some "weapons of mass destruction-related program activities."
