It's Not Hard to Twist Things a Little

Tipper Gore discovered that her husband's great great uncle, Gunther Gore, was hanged for horse stealing and train robbery in Tennessee in 1889.

The only existing photograph shows him standing on the gallows. On the back of the picture is this inscription: "Gunther Gore; horse thief. Sent to Tennessee Prison 1883, escaped 1887. Robbed the Tennessee Flyer six times. Caught by Pinkerton detectives, convicted and hanged in 1889."

After letting President Clinton's large staff of professional image consultants review this discovery, they took the following actions to assist Al's campaign to become our next president. They decided to crop Gunther's picture, scan it in as an enlarged image, and edited it with image processing software so that all that is seen in the final picture is a head shot. Along with this enhanced photo, the accompanying biographical sketch was sent to the Associated Press:

"Gunther Gore was a famous cattleman in early Tennessee history. His business empire grew to include acquisition of valuable equestrian assets and intimate dealings with the Tennessee railroad company. Beginning in 1883, he devoted several years of his life to service at a government facility, finally taking leave to resume his business enterprise with the railroad. In 1887 he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the renowned Pinkerton Detective Agency. In 1889 Gunther regrettably died suddenly during an important civic function held in his honor when the platform on which he was standing collapsed."

While this story is an Urban Myth (http://www.snopes.com/politics/humor/horsethief.asp) the doctored version of the story is not untypical of the intelligence insulting bullshi t that's turned out, day in day out, by the corporate and political spin doctors.

It's called marketing and publicity.
That's what the media and it's producers are all about. Shining up or knocking down personalities as it suits their needs.
It's applied to products and people, who also end up as products.
Technology helps get the word out and about much faster these days.
Incident now - news in a minute, around the globe in minutes.
Is that progress?

That was the reason for posting it Jimricho........purely to show how Newspapers and politicians manipulate the language. The authenticity matters none. Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story!! :)

Why I like this forum.....bit of good humoured "pi ss-taking"

To move on a little...

Here's a frightening thought.....KRudd delivering the Gettysburg Address!

Instead of one of the most succinct and meaningful orations ever, imagine the lengthy diatribe full of meaningless acronyms and weasel words (like my example earlier) and saying nothing significant.

I thought ALL politicians did that. My mate wanted to be a polly but he couldn't pass the TAFE course on dribbling crap and talking for a half hour without actually saying anything!


Like you Jimricho................I love the P%#s taking too! :)

What's the difference between a cat fish and a politician?

One is a slimy bottom feeder.....

The other is a type of fish!

Politicians and car salesmen have a lot in common.
Apart from the bull sh.t, they talk a lot and say absolutely nothing.

I have picked up lots of knowledge from observing Politicians. As an example, hypothetically you get sprung by your wife measuring a cute bimbo for an Alfoil G string and matching bra by your wife what do you do? Ok maybe admit to an Alfoil fetish but then DENY, DENY, DENY DENY, DENY, DENY DENY, DENY, DENY DENY, DENY, DENY DENY, DENY, DENY DENY, DENY, DENY DENY, DENY, DENY DENY, DENY, DENY then mount a vigourous attack on a topic totally irrelevant to what your are being disciplined for and say everything twice, everything twice, this gives you time to think what you are going to say next, this gives you time to think what you are going to say next... Simple really....

 Not all males but most of us would be guilty of that....When they stop thinking with their small head then they are in a casket hump.gif

My philosophy is when the blokes stop looking their dead.
If they touch anyone other than their own, their dead.
