Extra! Reporter actually reports!

ABC News actually called Bush on one of his lies. Really. I'm not making that up. This is a good sign: Bush has lied for so long, so continually, with almost total impunity from the the So-Called Liberal Media that he probably has no IDEA how to handle a press corps that actually requires honesty, and a press corp that does not allow lies to go unnoticed in the name of "fairness." At this point, he just assumes that he can say anything, no matter how ludicrous, and his supine sycophants in the press won't mention it.

Here's the text:

PETER JENNINGS: We were struck today by a very pointed attack by President Bush on John Kerry.

First of all, this is what Mr. Bush said.

[begin video clip]

BUSH: We agree that the world is better off with Saddam Hussein sitting in a prison cell.

And that stands in stark contrast to the statement that my opponent made yesterday, when he said that the world was better off with Saddam in power.

I strongly disagree.

[end video clip]

JENNINGS: And this is what Mr. Kerry actually said. [emphasis original]

[begin video clip]

KERRY: Saddam Hussein was a brutal dictator who deserves his own special place in Hell.

But that was not, in and of itself, a reason to go to war.

The satisfaction that we take in his downfall does not hide this fact:

We have traded a dictator for a chaos that has left America less secure.

[end video clip]

If Bush can't build a straw man - does he have anything to say at all?
