Just heard this on NPR (5hr delay here in HI) and almost had a cringe-cramp.
Go to this link and listen (click on the first audio link in the News Conference heading) to the Leader of the Freep World explain in tortured English (spoken and body - the video also has to be a keeper because you can actually, with a good sound system, hear him squirming on the radio feed) why his outright fucking lies are ample reason to praise him.
All Praise, Oh Cleverest of Presidents! (caption under the classic portrait at the link above - quick, someone grab it before Condi makes 'em take it down.)
Then listen (second audio link) as whichever whore Ron Elving grabs the company phallic symbol NPR mic and faithfully regurgitates the criminals' sound-bite explanation attempted cover-up, for trying to sell poisoned, used snake oil. No sputtering by the press corps of coffee all over the row in front of them when they say blather this shit, either, at least not on tape.
All Praise to Bush the Lessest
"Iran was dangerous, Iran is dangerous and Iran will be dangerous if they have the knowledge to make a nuclear weapon," he said.
So...since that knowledge is available to anyone who has the ability to manipulate a personal computer, what or who is stopping us from taking out the mosque at Oom? Ophrah? Ha. Hillary? HAHAHAHAHAHA!
(Hey Sen. Webb: how's your bill that Hillary came on board with you to pass, you know, the one from August March about requiring prior approval from Congress before attacking Iran? Haven't heard too much so far; just wonderin'.")
Anyway, here's the good news: The Iranians have chosen not to put themselves and their neighbors at risk because even Iranian prelates know a full-blown nut case in their midst when they see one.
The bad news is we can't make that particular claim yet. Hell, the Dem frontrunner flaming meteorite in asbestos pants even has a dog in that lyin'-hunt. She was, until just the other day, just as convinced that they were onto the bomb as she was that the aluminum tubes were meant for centrifuges all those centuries ago.
But listen again to Bush press conference. It can be used to teach our grandchildren how lame this decade has been, that someone so incompetent (and a criminal to boot) lasted long enough to watch his empire dissolve around his guccis.
"Why didn't they just Impeach Him?" will be the most common question from the 5th grade civics students in the year 2010.
(Hey, that was a good meme for the redundancy of their mendacity: "Used Snake-Oil" how about "Used Snake-Oil-gate?" Doesn't flow?)
