[lbo-talk] Iraq: it's all the media's fault

[andie nachgeborenen]

Anyone see this, I think, HBO zombie flick called
"Homecoming," done from the pov of a sort of handsome
amoral spinmeister, sort of a more clueless Dick
Morris type, who works with a Karl Rove Frankenstein
and has a thing with an Ann Coulter critter, anyway
the idea is that the US soldiers killed in the Iraq
war come back to undeath and what they want to do is .
. . vote! For anyone who will stop the war now. The
GOPsters are not amused. To tell more would give away
too much. Worth seeing if you can get hold of it.
