WTF Is It Now?!?

It's the summer of 2002. You're Karl Rove. The economy is tanking. The budget surplus has vanished, replaced by colossal deficits that your insane tax policies are multiplying. Your boss vowed to get Osama bin Laden, "dead or alive," and yet he seems clueless how to do it. One set of investigators is starting to ask pointed questions about who knew what when about 9-11, and why nothing was done. Another set of investigators are asking about Enron, and why it is that Mr. Bush used Mr. Lay's personal plane so often during the campaign, and what role did Mr. Lay and other robber barons play in developing Mr. Cheney's super-secret "energy policy?"

How do you take everyone's mind off these festering negatives, and conjure a positive scenario that will sweep your boss to victory in '04? You ignore the question, "What's best for the country?" After all, your boss was anointed by a higher power than the American people - he's there by the direct edict of God, right? That means whatever you do to keep him there is God's will, right? Ends justify means, right? So you ask, "What's best for the boss?" And the answer is to create an Iraqi war out of thin air.
