Opening The Files: 9/26/06
I know it's only been a few days since the last OTF, but the commentary resulting from Bush's Wolf Blitzer interview was just too good to past up.
Presidential Punctuations.
As I said, Bush had some face time with CNN's Wolfie on Sunday. When asked about the horrors occurring right now in Iraq, Bush dismissed it all as 'just a comma’ in the final history of that country. C&L has the video.
Greg Mitchell has some alternative punctuations to describe Iraq and, in the end, settles for one far more appropriate then the one the President suggested.
Wonkette provides a simple graphic of the next punctuations in this "sentence".
Christy thinks it's more likely that Bush meant 'a footnote'. Regardless, she's right that is time for some accountability. We owe it to history to except nothing less. So how will the text of history read?
Jack Cafferty says sometimes politicians say the dumbest things. Sometimes?
By the way, did anyone else notice that Bush said "the finally history on Iran" only to quickly correct himself? Now this could have been a simple slip of the tongue (Iran and Iraq are pretty similar spelling-wise). Or did Bush reveal his true intentions. That the war in Iraq is indeed 'just a comma', a comma in the long paragraph of history that Bush wishes to procure as his legacy. Tristero seems to think so.
Elsewhere...
Peter Roskam shows us why is might be a good idea to think before regurgitating the same old tired GOP talking point.
