Taking it Outside

It's one thing for me to be angry about abject effing lying coming out of the mouth of George W. Bush or Dick Cheney, but this sh1t makes me want to vomit.

"The notion that my White House would purposely release classifed national security information is offensive." I mean, does he really expect anyone (other than the assembled White House press corps) to take that seriously? We can't have a simple "I will not comment on classified matters" or "Hell yes we do!" or something in between, instead of directly insulting everyone's (except for the aforementioned press corps') intelligence?

Jeebus.
