Pants on Fire

I always thought television's Keith Olberman was gross. For one thing, he was either the sports or weather guy in LA when I was growing up. After that it was just impossible to believe him as someone who's opinion on anything other than tomorrow's game is something we want to hear. But now I like him because of this.

Bush: "First-just if I might correct a misperception, I don't think we ever said, at least I know I didn't say that there was a direct connection between September 11th and Saddam Hussein."

In days gone by-SOTU-three years ago:

Bush: "Saddam Hussein aids and protects terrorists, including members of al-Qaeda."

Now-anyone listening and watching his speech back then would make that connection easily enough since al-Qaeda was responsible for 9/11-don't you think? Keith analyzes it very nicely.

Olbermann: "Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda in the same sentence separated by seven words. Sept. 11th and Saddam Hussein -two sentences later, separated by six words. In a moment Craig Crawford joins me to discuss the fundamental remaining question. Who does the President think he's F'n kidding?

Cheney started it with "Go fuck yourself," but this goes one better: Who's he fucking kidding?
