According to Scott McLellan, Bush and his administration along with the US economy, and in fact, a lot of countries and people around the world, seem to be, hmm, let's get this straight, ah yes: moving forward. The world and all the people in it are moving forward so remarkably fast it seems that it's necessary to point this out no less than four times in as many sentences...
It's beginning to seem like being "on message" for a member of the Bush Administration is a little bit like being "on heroine" - as addictive and as difficult to shake.
Still, unlike Publius, I don't miss Ari Fleischer, not at all. Scott McLellan is just a stonewaller, unlike Ari, who seemed to revel in the way he could make liberals quiver with indignation at the size of the whoppers he'd serve with smug aplomb. Scotty, on the other hand, almost makes you feel sorry for him sometimes, having to say the same silly, patently empty nothingness over and over again, having to always "dislike the way reporters are 'characterizing' something" when they're clearly speaking the unpleasant truth, and so on - but no doubt this is just part of the act.

Can't hep but think again(as I have constantly over the last four years!) of Joseph Goebells, and his statement that "if the lie is big enough, the people will believe it." Or to put it in Republican terms "Loud and often beats smart and true every time."
