Wingnuttery on parade

Memo #1 (to Cheney and Scarborough): 24 is a television show. Jack Bauer is not real.

The CIA's inspector general:

WASHINGTON — The CIA inspector general in 2004 found that there was no conclusive proof that waterboarding or other harsh interrogation techniques helped the Bush administration thwart any "specific imminent attacks," according to recently declassified Justice Department memos.

That undercuts assertions by former vice president Dick Cheney and other former Bush administration officials that the use of harsh interrogation tactics including waterboarding, which is widely considered torture, was justified because it headed off terrorist attacks.

Memo #2: Just because you spent 8 years lying, deceiving, and acting in ways that should have embarassed you doesn't mean Obama is doing the same thing.

Cheaters are always the first to suspect someone else of cheating. Same with liars.

Along with Beck and Limbaugh, the wingnut-o-sphere is now suggesting that Obama has eiter invented or inflated the swine fu epidemic toget his Health and Human Services appointee approved.

"If there's even a hint that [Department of Homeland Security] is manipulating the health situation to push a political appointee through, well, it almost defies imagination that they'd be willing to that."
