The Five stages of Grief about Maliki's Der Spiegel
I posted this a couple of days ago on another board. When I saw David Kurtz reference to the stages of grief and Maliki, I thought it was a good time to repeat the post.
The 5 stages of grief over the Der Spiegel interview with Maliki by the McCain campaign.
The stages are:
Denial:
Example - It has to be mis-translated. Maliki never said that.
Anger:
Example -We're fucked. Have Bush get that SOB Maliki on the line and make him take that statement back.
Bargaining:
Examples - "Can't you say Maliki was misquoted or a bad translation? How about we argue this would not have possible without the surge? Who cares what Iraqis think?
Depression:
Example - We're fucked. Shrug shoulders and shake your head sadly.
Acceptance:
Example - OK, move on to the next issue. Let's talk about Obama being a Muslim.
