"Saddam chose to deny inspectors"

Bush repeated this bald-faced lie recently. The cowering press still lets him get away with it, but the public is no longer fooled.

    clear proof of stupidity

    Republican suck-ups love to whine about "Bush haters" and thus complain about those who call the president stupid.

    Well, sorry. (as if Republican strategists’ typically dishonest and sleazy smear campaigns never contained anything hateful)

    But this really tops the list for personal stupidity. I mean, it's one thing to forget what one had for lunch yesterday; but to sit there and blame Saddam for not allowing inspectors when he himself was the one who withdrew them!

    Whether he's lying or not, it's an incredibly stupid thing to say. To forget what happened would be pretty idiotic, but only a complete cretin would believe that nobody else notices the lie.

    Guess those years of cocaine abuse left a few holes in those synapses. Hard to drink from the fount of wisdom when one's cup is a sieve.
