Getting Clarke'd

Part of the reason I've been reticent to post is pure, unadulterated anger... mostly at the reaction of the White House and people like Bill Frist (someone suggested he return to murdering shelter kitties again this week) to Richard Clarke's testimony.

Frist, in particular, annoyed me to death when he says in the well of the Senate floor that Clarke did gave two different versions and only later to reporters, not reported as widely, that he has no idea whether Clarke told two versions. Meanwhile, Condi Rice has practically broken her lying little neck running around to TV stations to tell her side while not under oath and not within public scrutiny while she's questioned. Worse still is that some wingers are now insinuating that Clarke has a problem with Condi because she's African-American.

You know, probably the thing I notice least about Condi is the color of her skin. But liars and crooks come in all colors.
