Check it out...for those who may not know who Milli Vanilli was:
Milli Vanilli. The mere mention of the name still calls up the same derision it did when the dance-pop duo's career came to a sudden and ignominious end: Fakers. Frauds. A blatant marketing scam. Their story has been retold countless times: after selling millions of records, Rob Pilatus and Fabrice Morvan were revealed to be models who publicly lip-synced to tracks recorded by anonymous studio vocalists. They became the first act ever stripped of a Grammy award
Like George Bush, Milli Vanilli had great marketing....
Milli Vanilli's marketing had worked like a charm on everyone right up through the Grammy committee.
Like George Bush (who likes to compare himself to great past presidents) Milli Vanilli had illusions of grandeur...
Success (or at least fame) was beginning to go to the duo's heads...In an interview with Time magazine, Pilatus compared himself and Milli Vanilli favorably to Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley, Paul McCartney, and Mick Jagger...
But sadly, like Milli Vanilli, George Bush is lip-synching. He's just a puppet for someone else's words. He demonstrates all the "right" emotions on que.
Unfortunatly, his handlers dropped the ball last week, and George was just a little late in demonstrating the appropriate concern while New Orleans drowned. Is it too much to hope that we've finally seen the unmasking of this faker?
