I am from the South and therefore unreliable. Do I remember correctly that some guy from Texas who recently was President said something about yellowcake in Iraq - the phrase ‘16 words’ rings a bell - and was pilloried for that? I believe the operative phrase was, “Bush lied, people died.” Now, the operative phrase is ‘faulty anecdote.’ My, my, how the times, they be a changin.

Considering that the big 0 does not write his own speeches, the bigger question is why his staff writers didn't do even the least bit of research before including the anecdote.

Of course, he is still responsible (well in theory) for what he gathers from the teleprompter.

A real press would have mentioned this in balance to the Wilson pillorying of the last week.
