That is so perfect! Although war really isn’t funny, the Iraqi information minister was hilarious during the US invasion. “Tanks? What tanks. There are no Tanks in Baghdad. What are you talking about? All that news coverage is faked. Yeah, that’s it.”
If you’ve talking about deflection from the real issue and obfuscation, I think the master of spin in Karl Rove. Talk about a “temporary dip and then back in the positive.” Lereah just had to watch TV everyday to learn the tricks of the trade.

How often is Karl Rove on TV? My impression is that he’s a fairly reclusive figure.
Lereah is now blaming the sellers for causing the slow market. This is a tactic of deflecting, obfuscating and not taking responsiblity while implying that the situation is improving. It’s also denying that there’s a need to deal with the tough times ahead. Denying that things are going south today, will not make them turn around tomorrow. I guess it’s easier to live in a bubble than in reality.
Yeah, Karl Rove is not on TV but he’s perfected this type of spin. Rove has many good students who do appear frequently on TV.
Maybe Lereah should call himself the “educator” — after all, that’s what W called himself — “Educator-in-chief”, trying to help the American people to “understand” Iraq. So Lereah was just trying to fulfill his role of cheerleading the real estate market.
I thought what he said contained quite a bit of wishful thinking that was quite transparent, which was a sign by itself. So sit back and enjoy the show! (I wish that I could say the same about Iraq)
