Congressman tells GOP crowd we really did find WMD in Iraq

What are these people smoking anyway? They have absolutely no shame whatsoever.

WASHINGTON -- It's a good thing I went to the Conservative Political Action Conference this year. Otherwise I never would have known that, despite the findings of the authoritative David Kay report and every reputable media outlet on earth, the United States actually discovered weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, vindicating all of George W. Bush's pre-war predictions. The revelation came not from some crank at Free Republic or hustler from Talon News, but from a congressman surrounded by men from the highest echelons of American government. No wonder the attendees all seemed to believe him.

The crowd at CPAC's Thursday night banquet, held at D.C.'s Ronald Reagan Building, was full of right-wing stars. Among those seated at the long presidential table at the head of the room were Henry Hyde, chairman of the House International Relations Committee, Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback, Minnesota Sen. Norm Coleman, Dore Gold, foreign policy advisor to former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and NRA president Kayne Robinson. Vice President Dick Cheney, a regular CPAC speaker, gave the keynote address. California Rep. Chris Cox had the honor of introducing him, and he took the opportunity to mock the Democrats whose hatred of America led them to get Iraq so horribly wrong.

"America's Operation Iraqi Freedom is still producing shock and awe, this time among the blame-America-first crowd," he crowed. Then he said, "We continue to discover biological and chemical weapons and facilities to make them inside Iraq." Apparently, most of the hundreds of people in attendance already knew about these remarkable, hitherto-unreported discoveries, because no one gasped at this startling revelation.

this too, like last year.

4. I dunno, but whatever it is must be a dis-associative

and likely have anesthetic properties as well. This level of ignorance and bull is just as bad as how I was recently reminded of how patriotic the 'fly by' with the 'British Airways' plane was even though that story was solidly killed by the BBC who outed it as a fabrication.

5. I'm scared

This is increasingly frightening to me. We increasingly disagree even on the basic, fundamental facts of reality. It's hard for me to believe that they are simply lying. I almost think they're in an alternate reality.

6. Well, I'm still waiting for some EVIDENCE

of those WMD they keep saying HAVE been found.
