The Bush credibility gap continues

Tony Snow must think that Americans are idiots because nothing else explains his claim that Bush isn't reading or relying on polls. So how else can one explain the massive PR campaign that immediately followed the al-Zarqawi killing? It's obvious that the propaganda campaign was meant to turn the tide as Americans become tired of the delta between the words out of the WH and the realities on the ground.

When Snow dragged out yet another irrelevant WWII reference, Battle of the Bulge, maybe he could have expanded upon what was happening in Europe at that time and compared it to the current situation in Iraq. Of course, he didn't because there are no serious comparisons between the Battle of the Bulge and the war in Iraq. We had plenty of positive momentum in Europe at the time whereas the condition in Iraq is hardly moving in the right direction. The WH and Snow are all about spin, facts be damned.

Why does Tony Snow hate Americans? Why does he think that they are stupid?
