Most Fatuous Political Statement of the Day Award

goes to Bill Clinton, who said this today at the opening of his presidential library,

"I once said to a friend of mine about three days before the election -- and I heard all these terrible things. I said, You know, am I the only person in the entire United States of America who likes both George Bush and John Kerry, who believes they're both good people, who believes they both love our country and they just see the world differently?"

As I'm currently not watching the news, I witnessed up this gem tonight during the Daily Show. Jon Stewart's face was a study in incredulous disgust as he mouthed a yes. Could Clinton possibly believe this shit?

So now the Daily Show and Air America radio are my main news sources, supplemented by a light skimming of the NY Times and the Boston Globe each evening. Go ahead and spew, Bill O'Reilly. The Bush administration is turning evil into an art form to the degree that they threaten to make the Daily Show's irony irrelevant. Thank god the supine mainstream media (Keith Olbermann excepted) keeps its lack of integrity up there for Jon and company to practice on, a nice fat target.
