Perino: Congress Knew More About CIA Activities Than Bush.


Memo to Congress: Please invoke the 25th amendment on the President. If Bush can't recall anything that his own administration is doing, then why in the hell is he getting a paycheck?


Thinkprogress:


During the White House press briefing today, reporters bore into White House Press Secretary Dana Perino over when President Bush was first informed about the CIA’s destruction of videotapes in 2005 that featured agency officials using harsh interrogation tactics. Perino said that Bush had “no recollection of being made aware of the tapes or their destruction before yesterday”:

QUESTION: Thanks. On these CIA videotapes, did either the President or Vice President or Condoleezza Rice, when she was National Security Advisor, or Steve Hadley, see them before they were destroyed?

PERINO: I spoke to the President, and so I will have to defer on the others. But I spoke to the President this morning about this. He has no recollection of being made aware of the tapes or their destruction before yesterday. He was briefed by General Hayden yesterday morning.

Bush lied about the NIE and now the memory lost about the destroyed tapes what's next. This is getting silly and if it's not stopped we'll all go down. Our President is a habitual liar and as dumb as a door knob. All these crooks should be in jail.

I just remembered this my son was little and he had the evidence all over his face, hands, hair and shirt. When I asked him who did it he said Mr. I don't know. Now our Decider is saying the same thing. It's so sad that Bush is acting like a child with the same excuse. Now let's look back as we see the Decider didn't know about the New York Port that was being brought, Katrina Storm, NIE report, Bin Laden memo and now the destroyed CIA tapes. With all the decisions being made and Bush doesn't know anything about it who's running the White House. Is Mr. I don't know back again and maybe he should be called to testify to his actions.
