"Wasn't that, like, the Bay of Pigs thing?"

This woman has a high profile job in the Executive Office explaining presidential decisions and opinions to the press and voting public.

jaw-dropping shamelessness

From ThinkProgress:

This morning, the White House withdrew the nomination of Swift Boat Vets funder Sam Fox to be ambassador to Belgium. If there was any question whether the White House’s move was a gesture of good will towards Sen. John Kerry (D-MA), that has been put to rest.

During today’s press briefing, White House spokesperson Dana Perino stood by Sam Fox, calling him a qualified candidate and saying that President Bush was “disappointed” that senators had rejected him “based on partisan politics instead of his leadership abilities.”" [emphasis mine]

Do you think these guys do actually see the incredible irony of their statements and kick some sick kick out of it all?
