Some more petard hoisting

When they are not indulging in outright lies, the right wing loves to post quotes from Democrats that purport to prove that they once supported various Bush administration policies, whether it be the belief that Saddam Hussein harbored weapons of mass destruction, or just the (sad) fact that most of the Dem delegation voted to begin this war in the first place. Some of these comments they take out of context, but others are inescapably true.

As we all wait the word from Paul Fitzgerald on which White House insiders will be indicted for blowing Valerie Plame's cover, it seems appropriate to quote the current president's father on just such kind of behavior.

In 1999, George H.W. Bush said "... I have nothing but contempt and anger for those who betray the trust by exposing the name of our sources. They are, in my view, the most insidious, of traitors."
