Dana Perino, unhinged.....Pt. XXIX: I'm the Debunker
:dunce:



from ThinkProgress:



Perino Dismisses Pre-War Downing Street Memo: ‘It’s Been Debunked By Me’»

Earlier this week, Karl Rove said that President Bush would not have invaded Iraq if he knew there were no WMD. In today’s press briefing, Helen Thomas asked White House spokeswoman Dana Perino whether Rove is “in charge” of promoting Bush’s presidency. Perino responded, “No, I am. I have a team of people who’s helping talk about the president’s decisions that he’s made over the past eight years.”

Defending Bush’s pre-war intelligence failure, Perino claimed that “other leaders from all around the world” thought Saddam had WMD. When Thomas noted that British intelligence — referring to the the Downing Street Memo — disagreed with Bush, Perino simply said that the memo had been “debunked”:

Q: What about the chief of British intelligence saying you were going to fix the facts around the politics?

PERINO: I think that that’s been debunked.


Thomas quickly countered, “It’s never been been debunked.” Caught off guard, Perino admitted that she was the one who “debunked” it:

Q: It’s never been debunked.

PERINO: Well, it’s been debunked by me.

Q: Good for you.

PERINO: Good for me.

Recall, the Downing Street Memo — which was authored by former British foreign policy aide Matthew Rycroft before the Iraq war — reported: “Bush wanted to remove Saddam, through military action, justified by the conjunction of terrorism and WMD. But the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy.”

12. Yeah, but there are "prostitutes" and prostitutes.
She probably has a career ahead as "prostitute"-in-chief for AIG. She can "debunk" stories about profligate waste of our tax dollars on executive junkets at posh resorts. "That was a strategy session at a minimally comfortable rustic cabin, Helen. I debunked that posh resort stuff myself, after all."

9. I'm thinking...
- That girl who turns the letters around on Catchphrase.

- Weathergirl for the All Sunny, All The Time network.

- Dual centrefold with Ann Coulter for Playboy's "right-wing twigs" edition (Sarah Palin backs out).

- Marries a rough trick named Jim and has fifteen kids. Is amazed to discover that Jim isn't a Jedi Knight.

- Reality show in two words: "Oh, Dana!".

7. Everybody else believed the lies we told them
So see? It wasn't just us!

What a bunch of nonsense, and of course, it's up to Helen Thomas and Helen Thomas alone to call this murderous administration on its lie. Charlie Gibson just peeks down his nose through his glasses and reads the next question as Commander Bunnypants lies to his face.

10. LMFAO How could it have been "debunked" if it was right?
Debunking something means it was false.



DU needs to keep telling me how awful Obama is, because no matter how much they bitch it only takes 5 seconds of listening to anyone involved in the Bush administration before I realize that the "Obama isn't doing my bidding crowd" really has nothing to bitch about.
