It has now been four days since the Times broke the story of the Pentagon sock puppets. The networks in question have all but refused to make any noise about this, so we did.
Thanks to Buelahman for the awesome video!
Whose Face Can You Save?
They’re retired, still spitting in the feed
The doctored up analysis mapped out to mislead
Get creative with the facts
Cyrano de Bergeracs just offscreen
The floating Chyrons omit
The names of these morticians who wrote the script
Put some credits where they’re due
Right on message right on cue, and quite full of it
What a humorless skit
Where the cue cards from the coroners read illegitimate
They’ve got their hands in the backs of the heads when they start talking
So falsely detached from the corpses in the coffins
They fire off the blanks and the pallbearers starting towards the grave
Whose face can you save?
The network knows it’s no good for its health
To turn the camera around and focus on itself
A bit of fiction for me and you
Good thing they take those medals off before they do
They’ll hang around until the story goes away
It’ll fall right off the page just give it a couple of days
There’s so much spin to sell all along the road to hell
So get on your way, and watch what you say
Won’t someone tell me, is this ABC or the DPRK
They’ve got their hands in the backs of the heads when they start talking
So falsely detached from the corpses in the coffins
They fire off the blanks and the pallbearers starting towards the grave
Whose face can you save?
My cynicism’s goalposts moved again
Profiteers and puppeteers will get theirs in the end
They’ve got their hands in the backs of the heads when they start talking
So falsely detached from the corpses in the coffins
They fire off the blanks and the pallbearers starting towards the grave
Whose face can you save?

I just saw the rerun of the red carpet entrance at the white house correspondent’s dinner on C-Span (my band really needs a gig on a Saturday night). Wow! Where else can you see the corporate propaganda elite (Wolf Blitzer, Larry King, Richard Wolf, David Corn (Corn was only shown briefly sucking down what looked to be a whiskey in the shadows). Common Hollywood whores (Pamela Anderson, Ashlee Simpson, The Jonas brothers?) and everyday run of the mill war criminals (Henry Kissinger, Michael Chertoff, Zbigniew Brzezinski). Unfucking believable, if there was ever any question that maybe we don’t get the truth in this country, just watch the show. It is painfully obvious.
