As usual, Republicans can dish it out, but they can't take it

Yet another female Bush enabler, Dana “Lucretia” Perino, on Pelosi’s comment that Bush was rushing the surge to avoid oversight:

Those particular comments were poisonous,” Perino said. “I think questioning the president’s motivations [Oh my goodness!] and suggesting that he, for some political reason [Shocked! Shocked!], is rushing troops into harm’s way, is not appropriate, it is not correct, and it is unfortunate because we do have did put troops in harm’s way.”

And without any armor, either.

Dana, it’s the poison you mixed and forced down our throats. It’s already killed 3000 American troops, hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, and a little thing called our Constitution.

You mixed the poison when you said of Iraq that you don’t “introduce new products in August”.

You mixed the poison when you organized a disinformation campaign to market the war with lies about Al Qaeda and Iraq, and Iraqi WMDs.

You mixed the poison when you used passing the AUMF as a political tool to win the 2002 midterms.

And you mixed the poison when you manipulated the 2004 election with terror alerts.

So it’s only right that we should force your own fucking poison right down your fucking throat.

NOTE * Here’s the Corrente Master Timeline of 2004 Terror Alerts, and their, erm, very odd timing. I don’t know if bullshit’s poisonous or not, but if it is, this is definitely poison:

07-08-2004 (Pakistanis told to produce high value targets before election) 08-03-2004 (Leadfoot and the twins actually in Manhattan for a terror alert!), 08-03-2004 (extremely non-political Ridge praises Bush’s leadership on intelligence that led to the alert), 08-04-2004 (files that triggered alert written “in perfect English”), 08-04-2004 (Turns out the intel was from Pakistan, so the Pakistanis delivered), 08-06-2004 and 08-06-2004 (Bush blows an AQ mole), 08-07-2004 (the Times covers for him), 08-07-2004 (terror alert timeline), 08-08-2004 (Kevin Drum blames liberals for panicking Bush so he outed the mole), 08-09-2004 (flaming tourist helicopters of death at the New York Republican convention), 08-09-2004 (Condi says outing a mole is OK when you do it on background), 08-10-2004 (Condi tries to put the toothpaste back in the tube) 08-10-24 (TSA takes over NY helicopter security for Republican National Convention), 08-13-2004 (AQ-threatens-election meme propagated), 08-27-2004 (AQ-threatens-veterans-hospitals meme propagated) 08-28-2004 (Terror arrests in New York on the eve of the convention) (08-30-2004: Republican National Convention begins), 09-01-2004 (on to Teheran!) (09-01-2004: Republican National Convention ends), 09-16-2004 (alerts die down right as soon as the convention is over), 10-22-2004 (Condi on campaign trail despite AQ election threat) 10-23-2004 (Law enforcement: No evidence of AQ election threat) 10-27-2004 (Pakistani “streets run with blood” AQ video surfaces on Drudge, who questions authenticity, given hooded terrorist speaks with American accent), 10-28-2004 (Drudge tape moves to ABC, which doesn’t know if it’s authentic and releases it anyhow), 10-29-2004 (CIA can’t verify authenticity of Drudge Tape), 01-20-2005 (Terror alert just in time for the inaugural), 01-25-2005 (Terror alert during inaugural proved false).

NOTE Pelosi’s comment:

The president knows that because the troops are in harm’s way, that we won’t cut off the resources. That’s why he’s moving so quickly to put them in harm’s way,” Pelosi said on ABC’s “Good Morning America.”

I should have thought that was obvious. And even, if you buy into Bush’s twisted worldview that nobody, not even Babs, can stop Him from making whatever mess He feels he should make, his duty. After all, Democrats are traitors, so by evading their oversight, he’s upholding his oath of office. Or some damn twisted, self-serving Clang Bird logic like that.
