One Sunday, two presidents

I'm sure most of you have seen or heard the smackdown that William Jefferson Clinton gave to Foxboy Chris Wallace (I miss the Big Dog...)

And then, the current [p]resident gives us this on Blitzer-a-palooza:

BLITZER: Let's move on and talk a little bit about Iraq. Because this is a huge, huge issue, as you know, for the American public, a lot of concern that perhaps they are on the verge of a civil war, if not already a civil war…. We see these horrible bodies showing up, tortured, mutilation. The Shia and the Sunni, the Iranians apparently having a negative role. Of course, al Qaeda in Iraq is still operating.

BUSH: Yes, you see — you see it on TV, and that's the power of an enemy that is willing to kill innocent people. But there's also an unbelievable will and resiliency by the Iraqi people…. Admittedly, it seems like a decade ago. I like to tell people when the final history is written on Iraq, it will look like just a comma because there is — my point is, there's a strong will for democracy.

OK, the problem is--IT'S ON THE TV! And has someone mentioned to the [p]resident that this "enemy" is an indigenous resistance to foreign invasion and the imposition of a puppet government? And now, I just ask you to re-read this one:
Admittedly, it seems like a decade ago. I like to tell people when the final history is written on Iraq, it will look like just a comma because there is — my point is, there's a strong will for democracy
and tell me what the hell that means.

I know what it means. It's a dog whistle for the thumpers, from that stupid line about "Don't put a period where God put a comma."

h/t Steve Gilliard.

It's the same as his Dred Scott reference in the debates...he's just giving a shout out to his creeps, I mean peeps.

There's a comma, all right.

After three years of fucking up Iraq COMMA the worst president in U.S. history invaded Iran.
