Diverted Attention

It seems to me that “The Face of Botox Economics,” Neal Gabler’s March 10 Opinion piece, applies as well to the Bush administration in that what our president says he’s doing seems to count for far more than what he actually does.

But, of course, the architects of both the administration’s strategy and that of the Enron Corp. are one and the same--savvy public relations folks capitalizing on the old magician’s sleight of hand, drawing attention to misdirecting words while underhanded deeds go unremarked.
