For years now, these Hollywood types have joined forces with their ugly, less popular kin in DC in an effort to "drive narratives."

For the weak-minded, they have generally succeeded.

These days, every "product" from toilet paper to a political candidate is vetted, made over, focus grouped, test-marketed ad nauseum. These human products from Congress critters to freshy fresh starlets are pretty much led around by the nose and told what to do by handlers, hangers on, suckfish agents and advisors. It's all financed by the money'd folks who call the shots for their own selfish goals.

There are no coincidences.

It was all pretty much laid out in the 1997 movie that inspired their lot to set about really refining their efforts. Wag the Dog.

Check out this dialogue between lead characters Stanley Motss, (rich, famous, arrogant Hollywood producer hired to drive the narrative in support of a presidential campaign) and the guy who hires him, Conrad 'Connie' Brean -- spin doctor whose job is to do WHATEVER IT TAKES to polish the president's "image." Brean cares not one whit if it helps the country and the people he purports to represent:

FROM IMDB, Wag the Dog (1997), Quotes

Stanley Motss: I'm in show business, yes? Why come to me?

Conrad 'Connie' Brean: Well I'll tell you why, Mr Motss. '54-40-Or Fight', what does that mean?

Stanley Motss: It's a slogan, it's from the, uh...

Conrad 'Connie' Brean: 'Remember the Maine'!

Stanley Motss: Oh yeah, that's from - that's gotta be from the, uh...

Conrad 'Connie' Brean: 'Tippecanoe and Tyler Too'!

Stanley Motss: No, that's not, uh...

Conrad 'Connie' Brean: They're war slogans, Mr. Motss. We remember the slogans, we can't even remember the fucking wars. You know why? That's show business. That's why we're here. Naked girl covered in Napalm. 'V for Victory'. Five Marines raising the flag, Mt. Suribachi. You remember the picture 50 years from now, you'll have forgotten the war. The Gulf War, smart bomb falling down a chimney. 2500 missions a day, 100 days. ONE video of ONE bomb Mr. Motts, the American people bought that war. War is show business - that's why we're here.

These people are SICK.
