At the White House, Parse-Fail Grading? Ari Fleischer is stacking up as one of the more disingenuous White House spokespeople in recent history, exerting aggressive spin and semantic hairsplitting to discredit accurate stories that paint the administration in a harsh light. Fleischer’s staff has also started calling the media to complain about photographs depicting the Illegitimate Son in a less than flattering way… which is going to keep him busy, since — recall that series of photos that came out during the campaign juxtaposing a series of his facial expressions with those of our primate cousins? — he continues to strike me as simian-looking every time his picture is taken.
