David Corn, winner of the Red Forman Dumbass award

Yes, it has been a little while since I've broken out the Jiblog "Red Forman Dumbass Award." Today, David Corn wins with a post over at the H-Bomb. Corn claims that President has admitted to flinging propaganda at the American Public:
Speaking at one of his Orwellian, faux townhall meetings on Social Security in Greece, New York on May 24, Bush said

See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda.

I'm no historian of the presidency. but I'm guessing this is the first time in the history of the Republic that a president has publicly acknowledged he was catapulting propaganda at the American public.

Hey, dumbass. Try re-reading Bush's quote a couple of time. He is saying that he has to repeat what he saying (i.e. the truth) in order to catapault over the propaganda out there. He isn't saying that he's catapaulting BS at the American public.

Congratulations, David Corn. You are Jiblog's current Red Forman Dumbass Award Winner.

Note
I fear that this award could end up getting over awarded to H-Bomb posters, so I may need to take a look at the award process down the road.
