Apparently some Repigs are at Democratic Convention called "Ministry Of Truth"
Rudy and who the hell else are apparently dogging at the convention and apparently don't know how to friggin' READ a book, namely the book "1984" by George Orwell.

The "Ministry Of Truth" is defined in Wiki as:

the Ministry of Truth is a misnomer and in reality serves an opposing purpose to that which its name would imply, being responsible for the falsification of historical events; and yet is aptly named in a deeper sense, in that it creates/manufactures "truth" in the newspeak sense of the word.

(snip)

It is an enormous pyramidal structure of glittering white concrete rising 300 meters into the air, containing over 3000 rooms above ground. On the outside wall are the three slogans of the Party: "War is Peace," "Freedom is Slavery," "Ignorance is Strength."

(snip)

The Ministry of Truth is involved with news media, entertainment, the fine arts and educational books. Its purpose is to rewrite history and change the facts to fit party doctrine, for propaganda effect.

Maybe Rudy and The Fellas call their little charade as the "Ministry of Truth" because they actually are admitting what they do... if only they were that clever.

3. When McCain started committing adultery it wasn't a sin
He's getting a pass on a technicality. Moses hadn't been up the mountain yet.

2. As someone who's read 1984...
I find this absolutely horrifying. Who would even joke about that? Oh, nevermind... it's a noun, a verb and 9/11 Giuliani.

That figures.

4. Yet more proof that they'll whore themselves out for a dollar
How fucked up do you have to be as a person to wake up every morning knowing that you will spend your day lying your ass off?
