No shame. No brain. No nuthin'.
Bush's reaction this morning:"President Bush said Sunday he was satisfied before Sept. 11, 2001, that federal agents were on top of the terrorist threat when he read a briefing memo on Osama bin Laden's intention to strike inside the United States.
"I wanted to know whether there was anything, any actionable intelligence," Bush said, and when he read the memo of Aug. 6, 2001, "I was satisfied that some of the matters were being looked into."
And this part is stupefying - ". . . In his first comments since Saturday's release of the presidential daily brief, Bush said the document contained "nothing about an attack on America."
Bush said if there had been any specific intelligence pointing to threats of attacks on New York and Washington, "I would have moved mountains" to prevent it."

Query - has someone told Bush that the PDB was released? That we know what it says? Is he lying or just stupid or both?
Move mountains? Condi said they would move 'heaven and earth.' Is Bush's commitment less than Condi's?
Here's my question, can Bush get away with this untruth? And if so why?
If the Media doesn't call bullshit, shouldn't Kerry? On this claim alone? Focused on the 'no attacks on America' lie?
I say yes. Again, a layup. Bush is caught stone cold on this.
