Politics How Many Times Do They Have to Say It Before The Media Recognizes That It's a Coordinated Effort??
Posted by Dan Savage on Fri, Jan 8, 2010 at 10:15 AM
Dana Parino, former White House Press Secretary: "We did not have a terrorist attack on our country during President Bush's term."
Mary Matalin, former Dick Cheney adviser and GOP talking head: "I was there, we inherited a recession from President Clinton and we inherited the most tragic attack on our own soil in our nation’s history." (They did not inherit a recession from Clinton—they inherited balanced budgets and surpluses, which they squandered.)
And now Mr. 9/11 himself gets in on the act...
Rudy Giuliani, former New York City mayor, failed New York senate candidate, failed presidential candidate: "We had no domestic attacks under Bush. We've had one under Obama."
Let me see... under Bush we had the anthrax attacks, the shoe bomber, and... what was that one again? Oh, right...
I can understand how that one would slip Giuliani's mind.
