What About Those Dems Bush Quoted?

The Rude Pundit has a great analysis on the "quotes" of the 3 Dems that Bush was whoring out & twisting in AK on Monday as "proof" that he never ever! mislead anyone about Iraq. When you read who the Dems are & what they really said, it certainly puts things into the proper perspective, but cherry-picking certainly is this WH's exclusive area of expertise. And BoilingMad makes excellent pts about Bush whoring out & twisting their words: "Bush claimed that Senators Jay Rockefeller, Carl Levin & Harry Reid, who have apologized for granting Bush authorization to use force in Iraq, "spoke the truth then and they're speaking politics now." On June 16 of this yr, Scott McClellan dismissed Rep John Conyers criticisms because he was "an individual who voted against the war in the first place." So... the Bush administration's message sums up as follows: Whether Dems voted for force against Iraq and later realized and admitted their mistake, or knew invading Iraq was a mistake all along, they should just shut up and let one party rule every facet of society." That's right... the Dems should just clam up and let Il Duce Bush be the dictator he wants to be b/c as he said on 12/18/00 when he spoke w/ Congressional leaders Hastert, Lott, Daschle, and Gephardt: "I told all four that there are going to be some times where we don't agree with each other, but that's okay. If this were a dictatorship, it would be a heck of a lot easier . . . just so long as I'm the dictator.
