“We can achieve long-lasting peace in this country.”

The presidential Litany of Lies continues...

Due to having an infant in the house (or “Chronic Fatigue Syndrome” as I call it), I was up 5am PST to hear W stumble through two minutes of disconnected ramblings regarding the Iraq Study Group Report.

Because YOU have a life and no doubt missed it, here are the only two things he said you need to know:

One, W accused nobody of doing “a heckuva job,” much to the relief, I’m sure, of the Group co-chairs sitting on either side of him.

And two, he declared, presumably speaking of Iraq, “We can achieve long-lasting peace in this country.” Seriously. With a straight face — not even the hint of a smirk.

So there you have it. Obvious reality, a mid-term house-cleaning of his party’s staunchest war supporters and Jimmy Baker and his study group’s findings notwithstanding, this is one delusional idiot who plans on Staying The Course, in spite of the continued cost in human life and the hemorrhaging of American political capital at the most dangerous point in world history in the last 50 years or so.

God help us all.
