KO:Special Comment--IranLies

"There are few choices more terrifying than the one Mr.. Bush has left us with tonight.

We have either a president who is too dishonest to restrain himself from invoking World War Three about Iran at least six weeks after he had to have known that the analogy would be fantastic, irresponsible hyperbole -- or we have a president too transcendently stupid not to have asked -- at what now appears to have been a series of opportunities to do so -- whether the fairy tales he either created or was fed, were still even remotely plausible.

A pathological presidential liar, or an idiot-in-chief. It is the nightmare scenario of political science fiction: A critical juncture in our history and, contained in either answer, a president manifestly unfit to serve, and behind him in the vice presidency: an unapologetic war-monger who has long been seeing a world visible only to himself.

After Ms Perino's announcement from the White House late last night, the timeline is inescapable and clear.

In August the President was told by his hand-picked Major Domo of intelligence Mike McConnell, a flinty, high-strung-looking, worrying-warrior who will always see more clouds than silver linings, that what "everybody thought" about Iran might be, in essence, crap. ..." - Keith Olbermann

I hear Rachel Maddow might get Tucker Carlson's slot on MSNBC. Then we'd have a total of 2 people in the liberal cable media.

Too-much-cappuccino-Perino (aka valley girl on speed) is a piece of work isn't she? The other day she didn't even know what the "Cuban Missile Crisis" was about.

If that's the President's (sic) press secretary, should be be surprised at the lack of active brain cells in the President(sic) himself?

KO is excellent.

I heard that factoid on Malloy's show Panda. Shameful. When she looks into the camera, Perino has a vacant, mindless look to her. I pray daily for the health of our country.
