Yesterday brought yet another (yawn) installment of RNC-mail from Ken 'I'm not gay! Stop it! I'm not!' Mehlman, this one entitled "Democrats: Dishonest on Iraq". There's a video, if you're really sure you want to watch it.
At this point, I should pipe up and say that even I thought there were chemical weapons in Iraq before the war. I still thought invading was a really bad idea. To make matters worse, I didn't have one of the largest and most sophisticated intelligence infrastructures in the world telling me they didn't, or at least that the evidence was inconclusive. And I didn't take that information, cleanse it of all qualifying phrases, or in some cases completely rewrite the summary conclusions and use that information to lie to Congress and the American people.
Holy Jesus, people, what kind of balls does it take to hold people you lied to equally accountable to yourselves simply because they believed you were acting in good faith? Are you, then, telling us that we should never actually believe anything Republican politicians say? Because that's the logical progression of this line of talking point. So there you all stand, shameless and naked. I hope you freeze to death, politically speaking.
