How long can William Safire keep up this charade? Eric Alterman

[dArKeR]

How long with the Times allow him to mislead his readers? Safire, you will recall, termed it to be an “undisputed fact” that Mohammed Atta met with the chief of Iraqi intelligence in Prague. This was a lie. There is no evidence the meeting took place and the entire story rests on the testimony of a single individual with a serious drinking problem.

Today Safire continues to cloud the issue with bogus claims of a “smoking gun.” Well, yes, but it’s a smoking gun pointed directly at his (and the administration’s) head.

1. I was thinking about this

a little while ago-how the GOP hard RWers refuse to admit anything bad a bout Bush and will we or should we be the same towards a president Kerry.Will we live in denial like the pro-Bushers do and never acknowledge when OUR guy inevitably screws up or will we be like them and NEVER admit the facts that so blatantly stare at us squarely in the face?I don't wanna be like them BUT I will not become a Kerry basher just to prove I'm better than they are.What WE should consider is using one of THEIR tricks and always compare compare compare our guy to as Shrub says"the previous administration"
Love the spell check
