Purity Test Cont'd

Something else that touches along the same lines as the GOP's self-inflicted dementia outlined in the post below, is this nugget from a few days ago from former Bush administration spokeswoman Dana Perino:
PERINO: They want to do all of their investigations. I don’t know. All of the thinking that goes into it. But we did not have a terrorist attack on our country during President Bush’s term. I hope they’re not looking at this politically. I do think we ought it to the American people to call it what it is.
Obviously Perino and the rest of her Republican cohorts on Fox News are smoking crack. Just like with their "purity test"-- a test that not one single Republican president could pass-- Republicans are just flat out lying about terrorist attacks not happening on Bush's watch. In reality, the worst terror attack in American history happened on Bush's watch. Over 3,000 innocent people lost their lives that day. There was also the anthrax mailings and the DC sniper, all of which totally happened during Bush's term. Does that make these attacks Bush's fault? Of course not. But they aren't even talking about responsibility. They are flat out denying any attacks happened at all. They truly live in a Fantasy World. It's a world where they get to pretend that America is just now engaged in two wars; is just now experiencing an economic crisis; is just now witnessing terror on our soil. It is a derangement. But it's one that is totally deliberate.
