How long and how many times will we see Dubya's SOTU Iraq disinfo...

[skeptic9]

... clip on TV and cable?

This clip has been a real focal point of political news coverage this week. One less charitable interpretation is that racially-based American apathy about the WH message from Black Africa has opened up a huge "newshole". Former Iraq charge d'affaires Joseph Wilson conveniently filled this newshole with his revelations about his February 2002 trip to Niger to investigate bogus uranium deal rumors. On this view, when Dubya comes home and the WH spin machine goes off in a new direction, the Iraq War Lie story well may be over.

But I don't agree. I think we'll be seeing Dubya's SOTU uranium disinformation as long and as often as we saw Big Dog's "I did not have sex with that woman..." clip. I really like the Democrats' commercial with the typewriter hommage to the last minutes of "All the President's Men". As time passes, more and more Americans will think of Dubya's SOTU disinfo clip whenever they hear a report about new American casualties in Iraq or the rising cost of Dubya's Iraq payoff to his oil buddies, currently $4 billion per month. And the Democratic primary campaign could not have come at a better time for making hay our of this.

Too bad Dubya was deadpan and did not wag his finger when he said, "The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa."

But what do you think?

1. They can't play it often enough for me.

Every time they do they're showing him flat out lying to the viewer and soon everybody will know it. Not to mention it means the story's still alive.
