Favorite surreal moment of this Bush presser so far: “People ask me, where’s Mandela? Well, Mandela’s DEAD! Because Saddam killed all the Mandelas.”

It took me a second to realize the exact kind of cultural analogy he was making; at first I thought that, in the tradition of 2003, Bush had simply just tacked the assassination of the South Africa civil rights leader onto the list of fabricated reasons we had to invade.
