You know, this is beyond total bullshit coming from a party that ran deliberate, provable lies about Hillary Clinton’s proposed health care reform back in the early days of her husband’s administration. (I highly encourage you to read James Carville’s We’re Right, They’re Wrong for details on that, as well as the other subterfuge the GOP used back in the mid-nineties.) The burden of proof is now of Dubya, Blair and their cronies to prove all this WMD gobbledygook, and they can’t do it. It’d be funny if it weren’t so sickening.
And wouldn’t you know it, on the day when Dubya’s approval rating dips back to pre-incursion levels, all of a sudden news comes out that coalition forces killed Saddam’s sons. Amazing how when Dubya’s approval rating dips to a certain point, all of a sudden something happens to boost it back up again. You don’t possibly think that Dubya and company could deliberately be stringing things along just to keep his popularity up, do you?
Somehow I don’t think I’ll have a problem finding material for this week’s Backwash column.
