Well, that’s certainly one way to try to get out from under a crushing defeat
Have Pravda! just make shit up, and try to roll the press with "undecided" voters who turn out to be Evil Party operatives.
I guess that after having John Kerry point out that the Coward in Chief dropped the boring old search for Osama bin Laden in favor of the carpet of flowers in Iraq, that it would be considered impolitic to crank up a Terror! Alert! after Osama's boys mailed out another kill the unbelievers for the Gipper! video, so all they've got is this sort of lame nonsense to fall back on.
And it's a Friday, too. Tch tch.
Update: Apparently Pravda! has pulled the big heaping pack-o-lies.
