on doug’s cynthia mckinney post, i thought it was fine when you pointed out how you want to see george bush impeached.

on my botched joke post, i thought it was fine you when pointed out that you view the bush administration as a botched joke.

but in this case, the post is about talking security cameras in england. your comment has nothing to do with either security cameras or england. big surprise: you want to talk about how your nemesis, george bush, factors in to the situation.

another problem, bill, is that the way you have described newspeak is not even accurate. george bush in your example wasn’t using it. doublespeak is calling a used car “previously owned.” doublespeak is calling a retreat “redeployment.”

Doublespeak is most reminiscent of Orwell’s “newspeak” when it is used by a government agency to cover up something unpleasant. The government may find the need to talk about something that has negative connotations to large portions of the public, and avoids backlash by replacing the term with a new one that most people will not recognize as the same thing. Thus “area denial munitions” means “landmines”, “physical persuasion” and “tough questioning” mean “torture”, and “operational exhaustion” means “shell shock.” [source: wikipedia]

please try to do better in the future.

Bill, do you visit every Conservative blog to try out your “George orWell Bush” bit? Sheesh. I think you’re probably one of those Americans that I just mentioned above…
