From today's Daily Howler (Bob Sommersby):

Man, what a load of crap. There isn't an entire sentence that doesn't
contain at least two misrepresentations. But just for kix, let me
go after one resoundingly stupid fraud:

More striking than Rice's claim of ignorance was the tardiness of this Times
report. When Judis and Ackerman published that New Republic report, they
quoted unnamed authorities flatly saying that Rice had "lied" when she made
that statement on Late Edition back in September 2002. The tubes could only
be used for nukes? Sixteen months ago, in June 2003, Judis and Ackerman
quoted experts saying that Condi had "lied."

I now quote unnamed, but much smarter, authorities: "The unnamed
authorities who said that Condi lied were themselves lying." And
let me quote other unnamed, even smarter still, authorities, who
said, "The unnamed, but much smarter, authorities that clifto quoted
were absolutely right. And yojimbo is stupid for thinking any
rational person would be swayed by his crap."

Incidentally, she never said they could only be used for nukes. What she
said was that they were of a quality and expense that would only be
justified if nukes were the object. Obviously, metal tubes could be
used for carrying water, rolling dough, whapping asses, etc., but
only a dope would buy the most expensive tubes available for jobs
that could be done by any old tubes.
