3. Bwaaahahahaaa! Now She's Nit-Picklering Bush

For those who don't know, Nedra Pickler was notorious for her biased reporting (aka "nit-picklering") against Democratic candidates during the 2004 campaign, of which her usual tactic is that Candidate A said something but "failed to mention" some idiodic Republican talking point that seems to refute what s/he said. Anyways, from the story:

White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said the president was aware of the anniversary, although he didn't mention it during a meeting in Florida with military commanders.

Heh.

Delaware Sen. Joe Biden said the speech is one of several reasons why the president has lost all credibility. Former North Carolina Sen.
John Edwards said "photo ops" like the one four years ago couldn't hide Bush's disastrous mismanagement of the war.

Said Connecticut Sen. Chris Dodd: "The time has come for clarity and a new mission: To end the war in Iraq, to bring our troops home, and to begin restoring America's standing in the world."
