How bad is it when the ultra liberal Washington Post does this to a Democrat? (via Right Wing News)
In the Capitol basement yesterday, long-suffering House Democrats took a trip to the land of make-believe.
They pretended a small conference room was the Judiciary Committee hearing room, draping white linens over folding tables to make them look like witness tables and bringing in cardboard name tags and extra flags to make the whole thing look official.
Rep. John Conyers Jr. (D-Mich.) banged a large wooden gavel and got the other lawmakers to call him "Mr. Chairman." He liked that so much that he started calling himself "the chairman" and spouted other chairmanly phrases, such as "unanimous consent" and "without objection so ordered." The dress-up game looked realistic enough on C-SPAN, so two dozen more Democrats came downstairs to play along.
The session was a mock impeachment inquiry over the Iraq war. As luck would have it, all four of the witnesses agreed that President Bush lied to the nation and was guilty of high crimes — and that a British memo on "fixed" intelligence that surfaced last month was the smoking gun equivalent to the Watergate tapes. Conyers was having so much fun that he ignored aides’ entreaties to end the session.
I can picture all the moonbats who believe in the DSM drivel gathered together in their basements, putting on their own mock trials. The air full of seething. All their emails from MoveOn and the DU printed out. Getting their talking points straight. Perhaps they should check a thesaurus for a word to replace "mislead." It would be truly laughable if they weren’t damaging the cause of the United States in defeating terrorism.
Oh, and those Downing Street Memo’s? Looks like the AP messed up a bit. (thanks for the tip, Barkcloth)
The eight memos — all labeled "secret" or "confidential" — were first obtained by British reporter Michael Smith, who has written about them in The Daily Telegraph and The Sunday Times.
Smith told AP he protected the identity of the source he had obtained the documents from by typing copies of them on plain paper and destroying the originals. (emphasis mine)
So they aren’t the originals? You mean the originals aren’t available? I wonder if Dan Rather was involved.
Dan Rather’s pet rock has the originals, and he ain’t talkin….
heh!
