Ah, Democrat hypocrisy. Dost thou know no bounds? We are reminded this morning by Glenn Thrush at Politico:

But wait....the manufactured rage eminating from Joy Behar and Whoopi on the View this fine AM seemed to indicate that these events never happened...because ‘theres no time’ they ‘could ever remember’ such treatment of Bush had ever taken place.
