It gets more incredible, every day....

Every time I read the paper, I think the Bushies have reached the pinnacle of stupidity. But they just keep succeeding themselves. Read this, from the NY Times:

The filing revealed for the first time testimony by Mr. Libby saying that Mr. Bush, through Mr. Cheney, had authorized Mr. Libby to tell reporters that “a key judgment of the N.I.E. held that Iraq was ‘vigorously trying to procure’ uranium.”

In fact, that was not one of the “key judgments” of the document. Instead, it was the subject of several paragraphs on Page 24 of the document, which also acknowledged that Mr. Hussein had long possessed 500 tons of uranium that was under seal by international inspectors, and that no intelligence agencies had ever confirmed whether he had obtained any more of the material from Africa.

Okay, so here is a president who graduated from YALE AND HARVARD for christ’s sake, but it sounds like his reading comprehension is maybe that of a fifth-grader? Jesus. I’ll never forget when I was at Yale for my interview and saw his picture hanging in the campus Barnes & Noble as one of Yale’s famous alums. Why they would be proud of spawning one of the stupidest presidents we’ve ever had, I have no idea. Ludicrous. He really, really makes me wonder about the standards of the Ivy League. Obviously, family connections played the biggest, if not the entire part, in his admissions.
