12. Yellowcake maybe?
All this talk of cake, made me think of 'yellowcake'. Maybe there should be parties all over the country to draw attention to those 16 words and the smearing of Valerie Plame to cover the lies they told, and looking at those two contrasting statements, are still telling.

The icing on the yellowcakes could be quotes of the various lies they told, ie, 'Mushroom clouds' 'WMD' etc.

I notice a decline in the symbols they appropriated, ie, flag lapel pins seem to be disappearing, and yellow ribbons are less frequently seen these days. But they did use them to their advantage for a while.

Now it's our turn ~ and they've provided us with plenty of symbolism!

2. That way they are right, no matter what.
Proving again they are clueless. They really thought it would be a cakewalk and are flailing. They are sooooo arrogant.

Ignorance is bliss.

4. I think Condi is confusing the sound of her own
lying flatulence for escaping steam.

5. Condi and reality don't mix...
You'd think the various deviant members of BushCo would meet every now and then to get their stories straight.
