Just remembering the pained look on Cheney's face every time W stepped up to a microphone. Good times.

He already answered that. "Going back in time....I think it does a disservice to them [dead troops]".

To think that he actually pays very expensive advisors to come up with those incredibly lame pre-rehearsed question dodges.

Heck, his brother paid somebody six figures to be the "White House Director of Lessons Learned."

I loved this response to that fact:

WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Representative Rahm Emanuel (D-IL) released the following statement in advance of delivery on the House floor:"Mr. Speaker, yesterday the President said we continue to be wise about how we spend the people's money."Then why are we paying over $100,000 for a 'White House Director of Lessons Learned'?"Maybe I can save the taxpayers $100,000 by running through a few of the lessons this White House should have learned by now."Lesson 1: When the Army Chief of Staff and the Secretary of State say you are going to war without enough troops, you're going to war without enough troops."Lesson 2: When 8.8 billion dollars of reconstruction funding disappears from Iraq, and 2 billion dollars disappears from Katrina relief, it's time to demand a little accountability."Lesson 3: When you've 'turned the corner' in Iraq more times than Danica Patrick at the Indy 500, it means you are going in circles."Lesson 4: When the national weather service tells you a category 5 hurricane is heading for New Orleans, a category 5 hurricane is heading to New Orleans."I would also ask the President why we're paying for two 'Ethics Advisors' and a 'Director of Fact Checking.'"They must be the only people in Washington who get more vacation time than the President."Maybe the White House could consolidate these positions into a Director of Irony."

I was gonna say:

“You can’t script your way to the presidency,”Yup. Because we've never had a senile actor whose brain resembled Swiss cheese get elected by reading a smorgasbord of "kindly old man," "tough guy" and "'Merica, fuck yeah" bon mots off of a teleprompter.

Every time I think the Republicans have reached an ultimate low, at anything, I am soon proven sadly mistaken. I have, in the face of overwhelming evidence, given up hoping they can't get worse .

THIS! More people need to be saying this over and over. ISIS was created from disaffected Saddam loyalists and has been around since 2006. They received much of their start-up money thanks to our ill conceived bribes of local warlords as part of the Sunni awakening which was the impetus for "the surge" and they've been consolidating power ever since. We really need to push back against the bullshit historical revisionism going on about the supposed "end" of the Iraq war. ISIS is being run by a bunch of Ba'athist ex-Iraq military officers who are planning the very same takeover that Saddam orchestrated in 1968 with their coup d'état. This isn't some spontaneous religious caliphate,those people are just the useful idiots being manipulated by the very power elite that we toppled when we invaded and all they're doing is trying to restore the government that we destroyed.

Also too, don't get too cocky about Jerb stepping on his own dick so far. Never underestimate the utter stupidity and selective amnesia of the American public. Read it and weep...
