almost ANY politician would seek to put his own spin on events, whether it be attacks, changes in the interest rate, or alien landings! Some are more callous and blatant than others.....it's the off-the-wall conspiracy blather that bemuses me.

There is a fine art to wrapping up half-truths, rumors, inuendo and random irrelevancies in a clever package, using fallacious logic and presenting it in such a way that it 'seems' to prove something.

and lets face it, some folks are just wired to WANT to believe outrageous balderdash...otherwise, how would the supermarket tabloids stay in business?
