"You're insulting our intelligence"
White House spokes-liar Tony Snow meets the press:
Q: [L]et me ask you this. The President and other White House press secretaries would not touch this question of Joe Wilson during the height of the investigation. I'm going to ask you now, since the President is now basically saying this is over and he's done what he's done -- Joe Wilson asked for an apology for the American people because of the situation. Is the White House now willing to give the American people --
MR. SNOW: I'm not going to get into --
Q: Why not?
MR. SNOW: Because --
Q: Why not? It's over now. You didn't want to talk about it then. Let's talk about it now. Do you think the American people are owed something because of the breach?
MR. SNOW: Number one, there is still considerable controversy about the facts of the case, including Joe Wilson's veracity. Number two, there is also --
Q: What's in question about his veracity? Detail that, please. ...{a bit later}...
MR. SNOW: There are two things to note. We have also said that we do not -- we are not going to make comments in detail until the legal process is over. And it is not; there is still an appeal through --
Q: You just put out a two-page statement. He commented --
Q: Wait a minute, he just put out this statement, and it's it's over.
Q: He commented -- how could you not --
Q: Yes, he's commented now, so that's a big -- we can shoot holes in that statement.
MR. SNOW: No, on follow-on issues like this that still may have bearing and an issue that may return to trial, I'm not going to comment on it.
Q: How can you stand there with a straight face and say that this is not a political act? What he did was inherently political.

There's gotta be a special little room in Hell where the ULTIMATELY evil people go (you know, not just the ones who told a lie or masturbated - - the ones like Hitler, Stalin, Idi Amin, Attila the Hun, Mao, Nixon, etc), and I suspect that it'll also have the company of Reagan & W's press secretaries. To stand up and daily apologize/justify the actions of these assholes is nearly as bad as the assholes themselves!
