I heard Fox News and others say several times in the last couple of days that only 10% of white South Carolinians were going to vote for Barack Obama.

Your left eye or your right eye?
FORT MYERS -- Mitt Romney's a war-quitter who would let Al Qaeda win in Iraq. John McCain is being ''dishonest'' and shifting the campaign's focus because he can't win on the economy. The two Republican frontrunners slung those accusations at each other in unusually stark terms Saturday, as the too-close-to-call presidential race in Florida grew more rancorous heading into Tuesday's election.
[Flipper or McNut?]

'Bush tanked the U.S. economy'
'Wall Street giant and billion-dollar bank Merrill Lynch announced last week that the United States had entered a recession for the first time in 16 years. ...Forget about the $127 billion surplus that President Clinton left the nation after he moved out of the White House or the fact that Clinton paid down hundreds of billions of dollars in federal debt. ... What's the solution? It won't be resolved with this guy in the White House.'
[What's amazing to me is that it's taken seven years for fools to finally get it.]

The reason for their foolish recession
Washington - The Iraq war may not dominate U.S. news reports as the carnage drops, but a new report underscores the financial burden of persistent combat that is helping run up the government's credit card. War funding, which averaged about $93 billion a year from 2003 through 2005, rose to $120 billion in 2006 and $171 billion in 2007 and President George W. Bush has asked for $193 billion in 2008, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office wrote.

To a wingnut 17% is success
Iraq report card: only 3 of 18 benchmarks met
On the one year anniversary of President Bush’s State of the Union address justifying his “New Way Forward” in Iraq, Center for American Progress has compiled an “Iraq Benchmark Report Card” showing that “the surge has failed to meet its objectives” as “the Iraqi government has only met three of the 18 benchmarks laid out last year.” - TP

When you watch Fox News
"I tell you what — he [Bush] thinks about Lincoln and the tough times that he had during the Civil War. 600,000 dead. The country essentially hated him when he was leaving office".
Note to Bret Baier: Lincoln wasn’t “hated” when he left office. He was assassinated just after being re-elected by an overwhelming margin.

Chuck Norris is right
TAMPA, FLA. -- John McCain tried to clarify comments he made during the Republican debate when he denied saying he wasn't an expert on the economy. During the debate, moderator Tim Russert quoted McCain claiming not to be an expert on the economy and McCain responded, “I don’t know where you got that quote from.” Opposing camps quickly sent out a Boston Globe article from last month showing he said just that.

"... A tempest in a teapot"
"Dr. King's dream began to be realized when President Lyndon Johnson passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, when he was able to get through Congress something that President Kennedy was hopeful to do, the president before had not even tried, but it took a president to get it done" - Hillary Clinton

It's good to see Imus clean it up
On Imus in the Morning, during a discussion of Toni Morrison's 1998 statement that former President Bill Clinton was "our first black president," comedian and impersonator Rob Bartlett interjected, "I thought it was because he'd had an affinity for fat white women."


The Limbaugh Award

935? Is that all?
Ladies and gentlemen, the recipient(s) of this week's 'prestigious, but infamous' award for liars goes to a very well known, and certainly well-deserving, 'group' that our esteemed selection committee has chosen to call, 'Bush and the 7 lying neo-convicts'.

The Center For Public Integrity [it's ironic, the 'official' name of the committee here at 'done that' is, 'The Committee For Public Integrity'] released an excellent report this week that documents 935 lies told by those eight individuals. Lies that were used to herd the sheep during the lead up to the invasion and tragic, five-year occupation of Iraq.

The eight convicted liars positively identified in the Center's fine report are;

George W. Bush
Dick Cheney
Condoleezza Rice
Donald Rumsfeld
Colin Powell
Paul Wolfowitz
Ari Fleischer
Scott McClellan

So many lies ... and so much damage.

You eight, are #48.
