Well, you came up with a LIE in a State of the Union Address, namely Clinton's lie about the missiles not being pointed at our children that night. If someone in the White House reads this, and reminds everyone about that one, maybe this will die down. You see, those keeping this alive are just trying to make the SOTU into the ONE speech (or sworn testimony, I might add) that is too sacrosanct to contain even erroneous intelligence, let alone lies. You can lie during sworn testimony at deposition, and that is not even a misdemeanor, but throw in a line in a SOTU that contains an error or gaffe, that is grounds for impeachment.

The real giveaway is the fact that the Niger documents were found to be forgeries prior to the invasion of Iraq, and AFTER the SOTU. No one yipped and yapped about the comments being in the SOTU until the beginnings of the election cycle began, but those who wanted to hang it on Bush had a problem: CLINTON LIED ALL THE TIME. How to get around that when Billy Boy is doing all of that fundraising. EUREKA! Here's a line in the SOTU that mentioned Niger! That's the ticket! We paint the SOTU as some solemn speech that absolutely is FORBIDDEN to contain any iota or error, mistakes, gaffes, or any nit whatsoever! Yeah, that's how we'll put it out to the media, and let them do the rest. That's why they keep saying "STATE OF THE UNION! STATE OF THE UNION!"

The fly in the ointment was they forgot Clinton lied in one of those, too.

This is so obviously an attack by the democrats who could not find anything that had legs to bring down the President. Lord knows they tried hard enough. The only reason this has any legs is because the media is running with it full force, although they clearly know this is much ado about nothing.
You know the old saying:

Tell a big lie often enough.............!
