A Terrible Burden
or Hardly Funny

First, I want to apologize for bringing the word "Iraq" to Musing. I never wanted to see it happen either, but the article below took me to a new level of "speechlessly pissed off" that I didn't even know existed. Allow me to direct your attention to the following address. Enjoy the words of our glorious vice-president before you continue reading.

Finished? Disgusted? I hope so. Let me repeat my favorite part:

"We never had the burden of proof," he said, adding that it had been up to Iraqi President Saddam Hussein to prove to the world that he didn't have such weapons.

Are you fucking kidding me? The burden of proof? If that's how the Bush Administration is going to try to convince us that we weren't misled on issues about the war in Iraq, then it's a miracle that people haven't shown up with pitchforks and Molotov cocktails at the front gates of the White House.

I don't even know what else to say. Just when you think nothing dumber could possibly pass between Bush's lips, Cheney gets out of his hospital bed and fires off a winning statement like that. Absolutely incredible.
