A presidential whodunit-Michael Kinsley

[trof]

The truth has been shot! Round up some unusual suspects.

" Lacking a real-life analogy that sufficiently captures the complexity of the speech-gate puzzle and the challenge facing investigators dedicated to solving it, political scientists say the best comparison may be to the assassination of Nazi Maj. Strasser in the film Casablanca. If you recall, Humphrey Bogart is standing over the body, holding a smoking gun. Claude Rains says: “Maj. Strasser has been shot! Round up the usual suspects.” And yet the mystery of who killed the general is never solved."

3. Back to the "Moron or Liar" problem for Shrubya

"All of Washington demands an answer: Who was the arch-fiend who told a lie in President Bush’s State of the Union speech? No investigation has plumbed such depths of the unknown since O.J. Simpson’s hunt for the real killer of his ex-wife.
...snip....Condoleezza Rice in the Situation Room with a bottle of white-out and a felt-tipped pen? "

Kinsley is brilliant.

6. Another excellent point...

"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?”

================================================================

Indeed, who lied in George Bush's speech? ?
