Compulsive Delusional Revisionism
For almost eight years, Cheney took the high road and maintained an honorable silence on the subject. This man couldn’t maintain a dignified, honorable silence for even six months on the policies of the Obama administration. Imagine what it must have taken for him to sustain a dignified, honorable silence for almost eight long years. [...]
Spinning The Olmert-Bush-Rice Fiasco
You would think practice would have made them perfect by now, but White House and State Department spokesmen are still having trouble smoothly pulling off false denials of media reports containing truths they are not allowed to admit to. Ehud Olmert‘s yanking of Bush/Rice‘s chain over the U.N. Security Council resolution, and his juvenile bragging [...]
Yanking Our Chain
I don’t think Israeli prime ministers are supposed to publicly brag about yanking our chain in so many words. One of these days it might cause us to discover we have some national self-respect. US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was left shame-faced after President George W. Bush ordered her to abstain in a key [...]
Manfully Twiddling On
As far as I know, there is only one policy issue on which President Bush ever formally made a personal pledge. In November 2008, at the Middle East summit in Annapolis, he proclaimed: President Abbas and Prime Minister Olmert, I pledge to devote my effort during my time as president to do all I can [...]
Thank You, Thank You, George-You-Are
Condi Rice, Ph.D., tells us: I think generations pretty soon are going to start to thank this president for what he’s done. This generation will. And since Condi is so smart, and always right, and certainly never lies to us about anything, I figured I may as well steal a march on everyone else and [...]
Peace At Last, Huh?
On December 15, Condi Rice, Ph. D, declared (with a perfectly straight face, as usual) that Bush‘s Middle East efforts represent “the best chance yet to end the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians”. Could it have been outrage at this ludicrously false statement that prompted Israel and Hamas to jump right back into the [...]
What Is George Bush?
Depends who you ask. 100% of the people married to him say he’s “a natural athlete.” 12.7% of the people not married to him, asked what is the top word that comes to mind in describing Bush, went with one of the following: incompetent, idiot, ignorant, stupid, ass, dishonest, liar. The most commonly used word [...]
More Sloppiness At ThinkProgress
On Tuesday, I wrote about ThinkProgress ascribing a speech by Condi Rice to George Bush, an error that has now been fixed, but which stood uncorrected for a good long while. Yesterday, they had another sloppy post about Condi Rice. The headline reads: Report: Gonzales And Rice Appear To Have Lied To Congress About Vetting [...]
Bush Tells A Whopper
Yesterday, at the Presidential Palace in Kabul, George Bush made a categorical statement: I never said the Taliban was eliminated, I said they were removed from power. Trying to impeach Bush, ThinkProgress pulled out this quote from April 2002 With the Taliban eliminated and al-Qaida badly damaged, we have moved into the second stage of [...]
