Guess you could add the nut jobs in the Beltway sniper attacks as a terrorist attack as well.

Please forgive me She is an ignorant C**t who sold her soul to the devil while lying all day long for GWB and his band of cronies.

She's just got the "pre-9/11" mentality."

What's with the alliterative headlines, Steve? You feeling exceptionally perky this morning?

Going for an alliterative theme today with the titles? I like it.

By that standard Pearl Harbor is revisionist history.

Always avoid absurd alliteration.

Someone's going to have to explain this one to me.

She's been playing with her do-it-yourself time/space continuum alteration kit again.

Also don't forget the Shoe Bomber who was mere seconds away from destroying a jetliner heading for the U.S. The Bush administration did nothing to stop that, it was up to the victims of that attack to save their own lives.

All murders are acts of Terror. I am sure the victims would all agree that they felt terror as they were murdered. But to these Repukes it is automatically an act of terror when the murderer is a brown skinned perosn. If Fort Hood killings were an act of terror, so than the killing of the abotion doctor in the hall of a church was a terrorist act. But did you hear any one like Dana call it that????

If the Fort Hood shootings count as a terrorist attack, then why not the John Allen Muhammad sniper killings in 2002?

In October 2002 the Beltway Sniper shooters killed 10 people.

In March 2005 the Red Lake shooter killed 9 people.

In April 2007 the Virginia Tech shooter killed 32 people.

In February 2008 the Northern Illinois University shooter killed six people.

They're eager to call it a terrorist attack so that they can say Obama had a terrorist attack on 'his watch'. It's purely a rhetorical device to wield for political impressions.

It wouldn't be the first time Perino said something puzzling, but in this case, it's not even clear what she was going for.

She's hoping for a real Crusade. When the crusaders captured Jerusalem in 1099 they slaughtered huge numbers of Muslims and Jews -- so many that contemporary accounts described the streets as ankle-deep in blood. I suspect that's what the Xtian Right would like to see.

She's like Lynn Cheney. Speaking before thinking.

Someone's going to have to explain this one to me.

The explanation is simple. Dana Perino is tremendously, tremendously stupid.

Perino is simply going with the party line like a good little ignorant robot. However, I would like register by object to calling her a C**t in an earlier letter. While I find Repugs vile and repussive and stupid, there is a level of name calling which should be avoided.

Perilously perceptive pronouncements positively and palpably persnickety.

Obviously, Perino meant that there had been no terrorist attacks against the US *since the last one*. I mean, come on. You know what she meant, right?

C'mon, Steve - anyone who doesn't hate America knows that 9/11 was Bill Clinton's fault!!!

She's not stupid. She lied. Why?

Because she thinks she will get away with it. You know what?

She's right.

She wasn't called a C**t, she was called an ignorant C**t. Just wanted to clear that up.

Darsan 54 I am knight that say nicht. The bad words hurt your widdle ears . How about if I call her a lying douchebag. There that better?

She's clearly insane. Once again, it's sad to see insane people ranting in public about their crazy delusions, but we should pay them no more attention than we do to that guy on the street corner in the sandwich board and tin-foil hat. Goes for Coulter, Beck, Hannity, Limbaugh and the rest of them too.

This is just par for the course with Ms. Perino. Remember this is the same Dana Perino, who as the press secretary could not differentiate between the Bay of Pigs and the Cuban Missile Crisis.

While calling Mrs. Perino an ignorant Cyst is indeed vile and disgusting, I think it's a fitting description of a woman who should be excised from all further political discourse.

If I understand Fox's new policy right, they should be firing her ass right about now.

Just kidding.

Perino went on to argue: "We did not have a terrorist attack on our country during President Bush's term.

Did she also mention that under the previous administration chocolate rations went up to 25 grams from 30?

Tom Dibble @ 1143am

... PLUS palpably persnickety.

works as well as 'and' and starts with pee.

She's not stupid. She lied.

Of course, she lied. But how stupid do you have to be to think that no one would notice a lie this big?

Seriously. We're talking about a former White House press secretary who didn't know what the Bay Of Pigs was.

Why in the flaming blue hell does this lying sack of corporate-whore bovine excrement have a post in the Obama Administration? She spent the last 8 years being paid to be a serial liar. A post on the Broadcasting board of Governors? I realize Mitch McConnell is desperate for attention, but COME ON. Couldn't the WH have just thrown him a barbecue or something instead of bringing in Dana Effin' Perino?

When you're pretty, nobody expects you to be smart *as well*. So, you can get away with a lot, including lies as bald-faced as this one had been. She'd probably subscribe to that herself, had she been called out on it -- "Oh, poor airhead me, how could I have forgotten!". But, given the "environment" (Fox Mews), she knew nobody was going to call her on it and it would fly over the heads of most of the viewers, while implanting the idea she wanted to push. Mission Accomplished.

I am confused by the poster that says she has a position in the Obama Admin.

So what? Obama has judged her and found her fit enough to name her to some high level national broadcasting board. Nice job Barracky!

Interesting how people who lie a lot get used to it. It's like after a while they no longer recognize the truth. Perino is so used to prevaricating how 911 was not W’s fault, that in her own mind she’s moved the whole event back in time to occur during Clinton’s term.

Perino "went rogue" on history.

Since she's cute people will excuse her poor grasp of facts.

She meant to say there were no attacks when she was the spokesperson for the Bush administration. It's really all about her;>

Being a USPS employee during the anthrax attack terrorized the crap out of all of us. So to explain Perino, she's full of crap.

Proof positive they serve Purple Kool-Aid on the sets of Fox shows.

What about the new Fox 'zero tolerance' rule? hell's littlest angel made the reference, also. How does this get a pass?

Someone's going to have to explain this one to me.

During Bush's term, everything bad that happened was Bill Clinton's fault.

I am confused by the poster that says she has a position in the Obama Admin.

She's not in the administration, but Obama recently made a "rubber-stamp" appointment of Perino to a "Republican" seat on some official board. Google it.

So this blonde walks into the local Fox News studio . . .

Just because she lied, there's no reason to conclude that she's not also stupid and ignorant. Let's not forget that she worked for the Bush Administration, in which ignorance, stupidity, and mendacity were the primary job qualifications.

The Ft Hood shooter is being charged under the UCMJ, which does not have a charge for terrorism. He could be charged with perhaps conspiracy if he is tied to someone else, like the cleric he e-mailed, or even mutiny, but not terrorism. I guess muntineerism would be more fitting. The Patriot Act defines international and domestic terrorism and makes that a crime. One of the conditions must be an intent to "influence a government". Have we established "intent" yet? I think the guy went nuts and intended to commit suicide so he wouldn't be shipped out to the war, since he gave away all his possessions.

She's talking about terrorists ON THE GROUND. Since the 9/11 attacks took place up in the air, they don't count.

Oh, and, they were really on Clinton's watch, because he was the one who warned about OBL. (This is the really tough jujitsu move right here.) And Bush hadn't been in office long enough (or had enough warnings, two or three or four don't count) for that to be on his tally sheet.

And since they never pinned the anthrax on a Muslim, that's not terrorism either. If it was a non-Muslim who did it, it was just a crime.

And the sniper? Even tho he had a Muslim name, he wasn't a terrorist because, um, well. Um. He just wasn't, OK?

We are witnessing the birth of an ad hoc Ministry of Truth.

"While I find Repugs vile and repussive and stupid, there is a level of name calling which should be avoided."

Plus there's a perfectly good use for a c**t. I think men should stop using that as a pejorative for women they don't like, and I'll stop using p***k for men I don't like, OK?

I think it's a trial balloon. If Perino gets away with that claim, no GOP candidate will ever have to make an effort to say anything even vaguely resembling the truth. They will literally say anything at all. George W. Bush was a Democrat. Ronald Reagan brought us out of the Depression. Sarah Palin is still a virgin. Canada is about to invade New Hampshire. John McCain single-handedly liberated Berlin in WWII with a flashlight and scissors.

"the Bush Administration, in which ignorance, stupidity, and mendacity were the primary job qualifications."

You forgot millennialist religiosity.

Steve, I'm very disappointed by the disrespect you are showing Ms. Perino. You should refer to her with her full title: Obama-Appointed Member of the Broadcasting Board of Governors Dana Perino.

All I can say is, it's a good thing that Sean Hannity was there to set her straight.

Typical Republican parsing and exaggeration. If you asked about those other instances, she would hem and haw and finally say that she meant to say "there were no foreign terrorist attacks on American soil since 9/11".

That would be true but not nearly as meaningful. Clinton could make the same claim, for about the same length of time, for the balance of his term after the first World Trade Center bombing. And he did it without the kinds of blatant violations of our constitution that Bush engaged in.

If you point that out, they will complain about the embassy attacks, Oklahoma City and the U.S.S. Cole and then try to change the subject before you can mention the anthrax attacks, the D.C. sniper and all the attacks on our troops and our allies overseas.

But as long as the press lets them get away with the wording Dana Perino used, they can make a much more impressive claim and even people who know better will subconsciously accept the framing that Bush/Cheney kept us safe.

dont forget the Beltway Sniper attacks. If the ft hood attach was terrorist (done by a muslim) so were the sniper attacks.

While calling Mrs. Perino an ignorant Cyst is indeed vile and disgusting, I think it's a fitting description of a woman who should be excised from all further political discourse.

There are plenty of non-sexist things you can call her to get your point across.

Also, Clinton Clinton Clinton Clinton Clinton Clinton Clinton Clinton Clinton Clinton Clinton Clinton Clinton Clinton Clinton Clinton. Can't you all see that all previous terrorist attacks including Pearl Harbor were his fault. You couldn't expect Bush to be in charge in less than a year, the overwhelming power that is Clinton kept him from really preparing for anything.

Is she actually acknowledging that 9/11 was an inside job?

tanstaafl,

"Clinton could make the same claim, for about the same length of time, for the balance of his term after the first World Trade Center bombing. And he did it without the kinds of blatant violations of our constitution that Bush engaged in."

Not to mention Clinton sent a Special Forces team to pluck the mastermind of the first World Trade Center attack, Ramzi Yousef, out of Pakistan and return him to the U.S. for a PUBLIC TRIAL IN NEW YORK CITY (the horrors !). He is serving a 240-year prison term, plus another life sentence just in case, all to be spent in solitary confinement. His 5 co-conspirators involved in the bombing were also captured by the Clinton administration, and all are also serving life prison terms.

Wayda getter done.

Dana Perino, today's Worst Person...in the Worrrrrrrrrld..........

Funny how y'all get so stuck on calling her some form of female insult that you completely miss the reality that she is now, and has been for some time, an accomplished propagandist.
Srlsy! Is your ego so inflated that you are incapable of understanding that she is not talking to you?

@thebewilderness, wtf are you talking about troll? First, out of several dozen posts, there was one using an insulting term for Dana and 3 responding to that first post. Second, of course she is a propagandist, and of course she isn't talking to us, she is lying through her teeth and is addressing anyone she can convince with her lies.

So did anyone at Fox News say, "Uh, what about 9/11? Didn't that happen when Bush was president?:

No? Is that weird? Did they smile and nod?

"Just now he was very concerned over the war in which Eurasia was once again the enemy, Eurasia he reminded himself had always been the enemy. Any contrary memories were merely mental aberrations.

The last lesson had been learnt. 'He loved Big Brother.'"

When the crusaders captured Jerusalem in 1099 they slaughtered huge numbers of Muslims and Jews -- so many that contemporary accounts described the streets as ankle-deep in blood.

Apparently they don't consider NYC as part of their country.

But Cal Gal, some men are p***ks, like for example, Big Dick the p***k Cheney.

It's like my wife tells me......"Listen to what I mean, not what I say!"

p***k

Could I buy a vowel? (I'm sure I'm the only one)

@thebewilderness, wtf are you talking about troll?

Thank you for illustrating my point, sharply, clearly, and distinctly!

Look, the lady didn't have a clue as to what the Cuban missile crisis. How can we expect her to know what 9/11 is?

You mean Hannity didn't stop and correct her??????
