Bush supporters believed we found WMD in Iraq. Until yesterday.

Something just occured to me about Bush's speech yesterday. Bush admitted that we've found no WMD in Iraq in a venue designed to appeal to his most core supporters. And those are the people most likely to still believe we'd found WMD in Iraq.

I think a fair portion of his remaining support comes from, not rabidly loyal freepers, but regular people who are living in a fog of Fox News misinformation. I wonder how much support this new tactic will cost Bush in that crowd?

I just can't believe how intensely stupid that move was yesterday.

1. When a man is caught up in a web of lies

he sometimes resorts to the truth as a means of extricating himself from responsibility. (Lott is doing the same thing.) Perhaps * is hoping that his new admission will win him sympathy votes.

Personally, I think it's too late for that.

2. Well, it would help if we wrote a few LTTE to help matters along.

Otherwise that whole piece will slip back down the memory hole.

5. I think it was more of the position he was arguing than any one line.

He was basically arguing that it wasn't his fault, that he'd received bad intelligence, blah blah.

10. Too many folks, unfortunately.

I'm sure that 25% of America STILL thinks that Saddam was responsible for 9/11, too.

7. I was thinking the same thing

Yesterday's speech was a political blunder for Bush. He's too STUPID to realize it. I think his poll numbers are headed for 29%. Wicked!!!

8. For his next trick, he'll tell them that the earth is not flat.

They'll feel like they felt when they figured out that Darth Vader was Luke Skywalker's father.
