Kinsey fricking nails it: Who Is Buried in Bush's Speech? MUST READ!

[grytpype]

Once again a mysterious criminal stalks the nation's capital. First there was the mystery sniper. Then there was the mystery arsonist. Now there is the mystery ventriloquist. The media are in a frenzy of speculation and leakage. Senators are calling for hearings. All of Washington demands an answer: Who was the arch-fiend who told a lie in President Bush's State of the Union speech?

...

Linguists note that the question, "Who lied in George Bush's State of the Union speech" bears a certain resemblance to the famous conundrum, "Who is buried in Grant's Tomb?"

1. Good read.

Thanks for the link.

2. The WH must never read CIA reports.

Seems like everyone in D.C. knew the uranium claim was flawed except Bush, Cheney, Condi and Rummy.

3. The final paragraph is great!

3) The final argument: It was only 16 words! What's the big deal? The bulk of the case for war remains intact. Logically, of course, this argument will work for any single thread of the pro-war argument. Perhaps the president will tell us which particular points among those he and his administration have made are the ones we are supposed to take seriously. Or how many gimmes he feels entitled to take in the course of this game. Is it a matter of word count? When he hits 100 words, say, are we entitled to assume that he cares whether the words are true?"

This is a great counter to the 16 words-argument.

4. The historical precedent:

5 words.
"I am not a crook."

5. You got that right!

I just wonder if the pressure will build enough to get a Republican Congress to impeach. I can't imagine it...I guess I'm hoping it damages the admin so badly that they lose in '04.

6. At this point, I think a thoroughly discredited

Shrub admin would be a better deal than an impeachment. Chop 'em up with a good campaign and then let the whole bunch of them slide down into the LaBrea tar pits after Nov '04.

7. No no! We don't want him in CA

But I approve heartily of the imagery! :)

12. The devil you know

is better than the devil you don't know

[newyorican]

9. Or nine words...

"I did not have sexual relations with that woman."

[Aristus]

8. Yeah, there must be a hot, sunblasted pig farm somewhere in

Texas where we could dump 'em. :evilgrin:

10. If he doesn't get impeached...

...Rove will dream up a little aware in time for the elections, and people will keep Bush in office out of the "fear factor".

The guy's not going to leave unless he's dragged out in handcuffs.
