Neal Boortz (second item) is taking the Democrats to task today for Dowdifying President Bush. In a campaign commercial in Minnesota, the Dems alter one of Bush's quotes to change the meaning, in the style of Maureen Dowd of the New York Times. Of course, Bush's actual statement is true:

"The British Government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa."

This is something the Brits stand by to this very day. That doesn't stop Democrats from deleting a few words to completely change the meaning. Boortz reports that in the commercial, you only hear half the story.

"Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa."

This of course changes the entire meaning of the quote, and makes it sound like something that Bush is claiming instead of something that the British Government has learned. Then again, since when did they ever care about honesty. I guess a lie is a lie only when it comes from a Republican. And even then, even when it happens to be true.
