When I had this realization about Bush and Tony Blair's statements about the Downing Street Memo, I knew I had seen an important aspect of their defence of their actions. It's not often I immediately know a particular insight is good and accurate. This was one of those times.

I was gratified when Blogenlust and The Heretik agreed with me and linked to my post. I have an erratic mind. Some times it is quite keen but much of the time I just futz along as best I can with a myopic and disjointed focus. I also think my ad hominem description of Bush and Blair as "Chimpy and Toothy" deserves wider currency as well. But that may just be me.
