“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

Spinning

One thing I did not miss while I was gone, the delusional right.

I mean, realistically, the books you read are just "retyped copies" of originals. And apparently, according to the right blogosphere, because of this we can never trust books again. All the "retyped copies" of documents you see on the internets, too - the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution - potential forgeries because they are "retyped copies" as well!

Why, this post may even be a forgery!

Even this Newsweek article could be fake:
Two senior British government officials today acknowledged as authentic a series of 2002 pre-Iraq war memos stating that Saddam Hussein's nuclear weapons program was "effectively frozen" and that there was "no recent evidence" of Iraqi ties to international terrorism?private conclusions that contradicted two key pillars of the Bush administration's public case for the invasion in March 2003.

How do we even know these senior officials are real and not just made up by Iskoff and Hosenball?

You could do this forever, really.
