This week in historical inaccuracies

Look, no one is perfect. Everyone's mixed up history at least once or twice, so we're not saying former Bush White House Press Secretary Dana Perino is incompetent. But wow.

Perino is a contributor to the pants-shitting going on in the media about whether Fort Hood was a terrorist attack or not and whether or not that matters (it doesn't). She went on Fox News recently (shocker) to talk about it, and went on to say Obama's refusal to dub the incident a terrorist attack is a political move.
"We did not have a terrorist attack on our country during President Bush's term," she told Sean Hannity. "I hope they're not looking at this politically. I do think that we owe it to the American people to call it what it is."
Ah, Dana must mean the second term, the term that she worked the last leg of, during that whole "yeah this country is balls-deep in problems but we're emotionally checked out" period. Because there was...well, forget it.

Happy eighth anniversary to Glenn Beck's career

But seriously, in the midst of all of these awful shenanigans, town hall chaos and annoying hockey moms being unbelievable insults to humanity, 9/11 kind of puts things back in perspective.
Granted to some, that perspective is "Muslims are trying to destroy America," but luckily that viewpoint is no longer our president's. So we've got that going for us, which is nice.
The BBC thinks this is the summer that is going to define 9/11 conspiracy theories' longevity. Will the "truther" movement finally be quelled by evidence? Or will the commission get lazy and in effect make this thing drag on like the Kennedy assasination? Click here to check it out.
PS: Tomorrow, Glenn's bizarre social experiment or whatever the hell it's supposed to be is going to be on TV. Can't wait to laugh and throw empty IC Light cans at a weeping demagogue strung out on alcohol withdrawal and freedom.
