Perino: Shoebomber And Undiebomber Are 'Apples And Oranges':

http://videocafe.crooksandliars.com/cspanjunkie/john-brennan-should-be-fired-hes-playi

In an appearance on Fox today, Dana Perino continued the attack on the Obama Administration's handling of the attempted Christmas bombing, dismissing comparisons to the Richard Reid shoe-bombing case as "apples and oranges."

Despite the similarities between the two cases, and despite the fact that President Bush had OKed the use of military tribunals in November 2001, a month before the shoe bombing attempt, Perino argued that the context in which the two cases unfolded were significantly different.

"Underwear Bombers Vs. Shoe Bombers is a stinky debate, but if we can just stay clear of Diaper Bombers, then we wide-stance republicon homelanders will remain Holier Than Thou (in the pubic eye). Smirk. Sneer."

11. Her logic is the reason I stopped dying my hair
So the reason that the shoe bomber was treated legally was because the Bush administration hadn't yet had enough time to completely dismantle the Constitutional rule of law America has enjoyed for 200 years...oh, ok.

"If we had the ability at that time to secretly detain & torture efficiently, we never would have granted him any rights..." - is that about it? :crazy:

I would much rather have my foot blown off than my penis.

On edit, no pun intended.

18. Funny how "context" only becomes important to Repubs
when they're trying to invent ways to cover their asses. Otherwise it's all black and white.

19. The GOP will go to any lengths to try and discredit Obama and
his administration including trying to present the little know-nothing inexperienced bitchy, Dana Perino, as an expert in affairs of state. Add her to the other Conservative Feather Brain Club, Palin,Cheney,Bachman and others of that ilk.
