bush: "I didn't lie! I didn't lie!"

* uber neo-con Norman Podhoretz: "“And so long as we are hunting for liars in this area, let me suggest that we begin with the Democrats now proclaiming that they were duped, and that we then broaden out to all those who in their desperation to delegitimize the larger policy being tested in Iraq—the policy of making the Middle East safe for America by making it safe for democracy—have consistently used distortion, misrepresentation, and selective perception to vilify as immoral a bold and noble enterprise and to brand as an ignominious defeat what is proving itself more and more every day to be a victory of American arms and a vindication of American ideals” (link)

* harry shearer picks up on the point that i made yesterday about booby speaking to Time: "But today the story gets weirder. Because Woodward did talk to a major publication about his doings in the runup to this week's revelation--only it wasn't the Washington Post. It was Time Magazine.
This is double weird, because Time's arch-competitor in the weekly newsmagazine biz, Newsweek, is owned by--class?--the Washington Post."
