Adding to the List of Non-Responsibility

As predictable as GOP insanity is, it's still unnerving to watch the lengths they go to cover up the past and the total free reign the MSM allots them.

• Earlier this month former Bush press secretary Dana Perino made an astonishingly inaccurate claim that terrorist attacks never happened on Bush's watch. The whole world knows that's a complete lie. But the media Fox News allowed the claim to go unfettered. In the Republican Fantasy World, a world where Bush was a popular president and Iraq had something to do with 9/11, there is not one iota of anything negative Republicans are responsible for. They are purely Freedom Fighting Great American Patriots.

• Also we have the Great American Reagan "purity test" some in the RNC want future Republicans to be able to pass before they are allowed to run on their ticket. The "test" is supposed to qualify members of core Republican principles. A huge problem with the test is that it's a total lie. No where in the last 30 years of American history could any Republican pass the test, much less Reagan.

• We can't leave super tough guy patriot Big Dick Cheney out of this Republican lie fest. He recently told web-based media outlet Politico the Bush administration has no responsibility for the current condition of Afghanistan. This is the same administration that invaded Afghanistan in 2001 only to completely neglect it for 8 solid years. The administration that Cheney claims bears no responsibility also took resources from the war in Afghanistan and deployed them to Iraq-- a country that had absolutely nothing to do with 9/11. Yet, Cheney with his five deferments from combat service in Vietnam gets to tell Americans that his incompetent administration has nothing to do with why we are still fighting a war that is second in length only to the one Cheney ran and hid from while he was of prime fighting age. Not a single follow up question from the very liberal media.
  

Now add to the list of the Republican Misinformation Campaign none other than Republican mouthpiece Mary Matalin. Matalin appeared on CNN last week where she freely stated the Bush administration inherited a recession and terrorists attacks and fixed them both.

I was there [in the Bush White House]. We inherited a recession from President Clinton and we inherited the most tragic attack on our own soil in our nation's history. And President Bush dealt with it. And within a year of his presidency at this comparable time, unemployment was at 5 percent. And we were creating jobs.

Yes, in the Republican Fantasy World, a recession that began 2 and a half months after Bush took office and the worst terrorist attack in world history that happened 8 and a half months after Bush took office are not the responsibility of the Bush administration. Instead they are credited to the previous president. And the very liberal media CNN allowed her to spout the lies without a single correction.

What planet are Republicans living on? Who gets to pass the blame as much as this? In what alternate universe do you get to oversee the worst terrorist attacks in history, two ongoing botched wars, grow government larger than any president in two generations, run up the largest deficit in human history and preside over the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression and you not be responsible for any of it? Seriously, who gets away with this stuff? It has to suck to be Republican.
