Why 'Juan Gato' Rules Us All: His line of the day-- "the Bush administration's 'it wasn't lies, it was just...bullshit' dance."

Is it just me, or is there something overwhelmingly, erm, Clintonian about the President and his apologists' gyrations? An example: as Ross at Spiral Dive notes, the President said recently, "We gave [Hussein] a chance to allow the inspectors in, and he wouldn't let them in."

Oh, really? Funny, I was paying attention at the time and I thought, excuse me, I thought that the UN weapons inspectors weren't finding anything in Iraq, that that was the problem. Bad on me for trusting my eyes and ears. And I seem to remember something to the effect of inspections not being good enough, that letting them continue would be useless. But now I see the error of my ways. There were no inspections. Hussein wouldn't let them happen. I apologize, Mr. President. I got my history wrong.

Christ, if this was Clinton, the Republicans would be bathing in his entrails right now. The Democrats are even deader than I thought.
