The Kirkus review for NYT columnist Frank Rich's "The Greatest Story Ever Sold: The Decline and Fall of Truth from 9/11 to Katrina" was released this afternoon, praising Rich for his "savaging sermon" on the "White House's greatest hits, from the 2001 defense of gas-guzzling as essential to the American way of life to "Heckuva job, Brownie" to the ongoing morass of Iraq." The Kirkus reviewer seems to be in agreement with Rich on the spinning of it's own administration's missteps: "In an effort to disguise that track record, the Republicans have exercised single-minded control of the grand narrative of the last five years, at least in part because they have exercised quasi-totalitarian control over the news media."
The good news just keeps coming for the Bush administration doesn't it?
Actually this does sound like a good book I may have to actually buy this one.
To show the possive of it there is no apostrophe
