Grasping at Straws: Conservatives on the Sixteen Words
Oh, you really must check this out. The right's new line on Bush's "sixteen words" about African uranium in the 2003 SOTU is that it's all a big myth--a myth that won't go away. Why? Oh, check it out for yourself, dear reader. When the Word Count Defense didn't work (it's only sixteen words!), they apparently decided to drop it in favor of the He Didn't Say Niger defense.
Another aspect of this new gambit turns on noting that some people mistakenly think that the president lied to us about Saddam purchasing uranium, when he actually lied to as about attempting to purchase uranium. See?! It's all just a big MYTH! It NEVER HAPPENED!
My god. Have these people no shame?

How appropriate that the blog Insty links to titles the post: "The Big Lie Continues".
"Oh that crazy Left! Why would they think that the President was talking about Niger when he was talking about documents, reporting, claims that had to do with Niger? I mean, c'mon, he used the word "Africa", and Africa is a lot bigger than Niger, right? Right??? And its not like the White House immediately repudiated the 16 words after being called on their dishonesty, is it?????!"
Christ almighty.
No, they have no shame. Thanks for asking!
