The Lie That Won’t Die
Ari Fleischer is a big liar.
FLEISCHER: It was in part because of Iraq and large part because of the economy that Barack Obama won. Having said that, I also think Barack Obama should say thank you every day that he inherited a world without Saddam Hussein in it. The one thing people are going to remember the most is that he kept us safe. […]
But after September 11th, having been being hit once, how could we take a chance that Saddam Hussein might not strike again? We got a report saying al Qaeda is determined to attack the United States. Well, that’s not a surprise. Of course, they are. It doesn’t say where, it doesn’t say when, it doesn’t say how. So, if you get a report like that, what do you do?
Guess they decided to drop the subtlty and just come out and say what they’ve been implying (and then denying) for years – That Saddam Hussein attacked us on 9/11. Oh, and Obama owes Bush a big thank you.

You have to hand it to the Republicans, they have mastered the art of taking reality behind the barn and fucking it until it cries.
This is part of the Bush Legacy project — where the old Bush backup band reunites to rewrite history. More of the usual if you say it often enough it becomes true.
I liked this bit from the Think Progress post:
“So Bush deserves no blame for the attack that occurred in the first year of his presidency, but he deserves full credit for the fact that no more attacks occurred for the rest of his presidency. I find this argument to be an insult to snake oil.”
Osama bin Forgotten?
Fleischer also got really indignant when Matthews pointed out that 9/11 happened when Bush was president.
Bu$hCo. must have very compromising Ari Felcher vids and photos, if he’s still bringing that weak shit to the game.
Jason- it reminds me of a video I saw in college “Barnyard Buddies”. Very scary porn but the one scene where a German farmhand casually walks over to an Oxen, steps up on his little stool and proceeds to F the bejesus out of it…Yes America you have now been deflowered!
The orwellian office of truth refuses to die, which is good, future geneneration would never belive us and theup is down universe they came from, so keep it alive Ari, ther`s money in those book deals.
STI, you beat me to it with the Orwell reference. I was thinking “Eastasia had always been with Eurasia, not with Oceania. Everyone knew that”. .. Or some such.
It’s just so… in your face. I watched last night and actually doubted what I heard. But Conservatives play to the stupid. To them an educated populace is the enemy.
Difference between Ari and a vibrating dildo:
The dildo has a place to put the batteries.
Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!
When the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? what history book are you reading?
Plus, Ari doesn’t bring any pleasure, Stone.
h/t to anon for the ‘Animal House’ reference. Clearly this post needed some humor.
The thing that always got me was why did we have t0 go to Iraq to get rid of Saddam?
After all according to the Repuks Saddam was flying one of the planes on 911
