Last March, President Bush, egged on by conservative Repbulcians like Sen. Rick Santorum, ordered tens of thousands of captured Iraqi documents to be released on a public website. Intelligence officials had no idea what was contained in the untranslated Arabic documents and warned against the release. But Bush and conservatives were desperate to find evidence of Iraq WMD, so they sanctioned the release .
Last week, the NY Times reported that the doc collection included plans for building nuclear weapons. Whoops.
Here's a comic video commentary. Laugh to keep from crying.
Reporting on our Halloween Cakewalk for Rich
Sexton, who's challenging Jim Saxton for NJ-3 seat in Congress.
Truth is, we almost punked out. (“Whose idea was this,
anyway?”) But we screwed up our courage, headed out, and spent about 2 hours
cakewalking through the goblin-infested streets of our old suburban town, ringing doorbells, and singing our
ditty. Watch it.
The good news is that our reception was overwhelmingly positive. (Only one door slammed in our faces.) Better news is that most of those we “entertained” were planning to support Dems next week. The best news was that quite a few had actually seen and heard Rich Sexton at campaign events. (OK, we live in Sexton’s hometown, but it’s still impressive, since Sexton has had no paid media.)
On June 22, reporters asked SecDef Donald Rumsfeld and Gen. George Casey about Iraq troop levels. Watch them dance around the answer in this short video. (Music by Fats Waller.)
As you watch, imagine Rummy decked out in bowler, starched collar, and tailored suit with a gold watch chain dangling from the vest. He’s right out of the Gilded Age.
