As she makes clear with alarming frequency, former Bush press secretary Dana Perino knows very little and seems to remember even less. In 2007, Perino admitted her ignorance of the Cuban Missile Crisis. Then three weeks ago, she swept the bloodbath of 9/11 under the rug when she proclaimed, "we did not have a terrorist attack on our country during President Bush's term." Now in response to Barack Obama's 60 Minutes interview Sunday, Perino claimed that Obama's suggestion that "President Bush was too triumphant in his rhetoric when talking about war" is "demonstrably false."
Sadly for Perino, Obama's assessment that "that one of the mistakes that was made over the last eight years is for us to have a triumphant sense about war" is irrefutably true. We know this, because George W. Bush repeatedly told us so.
