Fighting the War on Error

Bushed! Countdown tackles the lies...


Last night's version of Bushed! on Countdown tackled three pretty big lies -

1. Valerie Plame Affair - Scott McClellan's book has thrown a few more logs on the fire, and here's hoping that the Mustache of Justice, Henry Waxman, does the right thing by exploring McClellan's accusations.

2. The judge at Gitmo who was mysteriously replaced, a month before he was due to retire, because he didn't rule the way the military (Read: the Pentagon and the administration) wanted him to.

3. President Bush's appeasement speech - the disgrace continues. Not only is Israel talking to Syria, but the Iraqi government is talking to Iran. Strangely, President Bush has had nothing to say about it. Far-right ideologues aside, everyone knows the speech was an unqualified disgrace, and a complete farce. Here's hoping that voters don't forget this fall, and by that I mean McCain's comments in light of Bush's speech as well, well McSame parrotted what the president said in front of the Knesset.
