Comedy
Doug is correct in his comment about the Bush team falling over themselves to respond to Richard Clarke: "It's funny that they keep insisting they were all over terrorism when they came into office, after they’re already on record, shortly after 9/11, admitting that they hadn't focused on it enough."

Equally funny is the way Condi and Cheney have taken opposing positions on how involved Clarke was. But for real comedy, you have to read how Bush made fun of the untruths that helped him send more than 500 US soldiers to their deaths in Iraq:

"Bush put on a slide show, calling it the "White House Election-Year Album" at the Radio and Television Correspondents' Association 60th annual dinner, showing himself and his staff in some decidedly unflattering poses. There was Bush looking under furniture in a fruitless, frustrating search. "Those weapons of mass destruction have got to be somewhere," he said."

I'm trying to not overreact...would I have thought it was funny if Clinton did that? If I supported the war? No major media, only some bloggers, seem to be questioning the propriety of that kind of "joke." So maybe I've lost it, but it really pisses me off.

{UPDATE: The Nation's David Corn had a similar reaction to mine--"Imagine if Lyndon Johnson had joked about the trumped-up Gulf of Tonkin incident that he deceitfully used as a rationale for U.S. military action in Vietnam: 'Who knew that fish had torpedoes?'"}
