Tonight, after Air Force One had departed, White House officials issued a statement in Mr. Fleischer's name that made clear that they no longer stood behind Mr. Bush's statement.

"And Hoo boy, are our faces ever red! Whoops; plane's leaving. Gotta go!"

Ari Fleischer, the White House spokesman, said, "There is zero, nada, nothing new here."

Move along, citizens.

How Mr. Bush's statement made it into last January's State of the Union address is still unclear. No one involved in drafting the speech will say who put the phrase in, or whether it was drawn from the classified intelligence estimate.

The Dog Ate My Homework -- hey, it worked for the Clintons.

Is "had flawed origin" the latest euphemism for "was based on lies"?

It seems to me there are two ways to react to this story. One is to lap up every word while chortling "Hah! They got him! Bush The Crook! He'll be in handcuffs any minute!"

The other is to put it down about the middle of the second paragraph thinking, "What is this jihad the media is on? It just gets thicker every day. Next they'll be telling us that we've deposed a perfectly fine fellow who was busy helping the poor until we went over there and screwed it up."

Has anybody seen a poll that could tell us whether the media is shooting Bush or themselves with this crap? I know what I think, but I'm a wingnut.

Wasn't this old news before the war started? I seem to remember that is was debunked before April. We didn't go to war because of alleged Uranium anyways, we went to war because Saddam refused to disclose what had happened to the known WMD's he had. Non-cooperation turned out to be a b!tch for Saddam.
