GOP at the Movies: Watch the Big Lie in Action

If you really don't believe that all the consternation over whether Bush pushed the intelligence on WMD in Iraq, or if you just like to watch politicians saying things that they deny later, head over to GOP.com and click the video link. You'll see some choice talking heads, from Madeline Albright to Nancy Pelosi to Howard Dean to Bill Clinton to St. Hillary herself declaring that Saddam is a menace who has or is determined to get WMD and can be depended on to use them.

What's sad is that it took the Grand Old Party, not the Main Stream Media, to assemble this pastiche of clips for the information of the American public. Where has the MSM been?

Well, Bob Woodward, the great icon of investigative journalism, today admitted that he knew that Valerie Plame was CIA one month before it hit the papers. So Scooter Libby was forced to testify and now faces perjury charges, and Judith Miller waited in a federal jail for the better part of a quarter, because our most celebrated journalist wouldn't come forward with what would have removed both of them from the focus of Patrick Fitzgerald's investigation.

So while a real story is out there, the MSM is busy protecting its book deals and pursuing nonexistent dirt on the administration. Is it any wonder that TV new ratings and newspaper sales are plummeting?
