Dana Perino's Amnesia Problems Continue

The level of short term memory loss (or just outright lies) of Dana Perino is quite staggering to this writer's brain.

I thought she couldn't top last week's loss memory of how her former boss let her witless self attack NBC relentlessly last year.

But she certainly did just that.


The transcript for those who had the fortune to miss out on hearing this mess

PERINO: That was a coordinated, calculated attack. It was unbecoming. And if you look at some of the coverage of what mainstream media covers when, for example, somebody like a Hugo Chavez shuts down television stations, he calls them illegitimate.

Now, I’m not suggesting that this White House believes that they are going to come over here and shut down Fox News. But they are defining a narrative in their first year, and it’s going to be very hard to recover from it. [...]

Through our State Department, we are trying to help emerging democracies get journalists and government officials to talk to one another, because freedom of the press is essential to any democracy. Believe me, they are watching this, and they have — surely are raising questions.

Thankfully, we have people like Amanda Terkel who highlight how much if an idiot Perino and her ilk are

The Obama administration, according to Reporters Without Borders, is actually setting quite a strong example of press freedom for the world. In 2008, the organization found that in terms of press freedom, the U.S. ranked 36th out of 173 countries. Its report singled out “wars carried out in the name of the fight against terrorism” as a cause for the steep decline in press freedoms around the world. Just one year later, the United States has jumped from 36th to 20th. “Barack Obama’s election as president and the fact that he has a less hawkish approach than his predecessor have had a lot to do with this,” concluded Reporters Without Borders.

But hey, facts and common sense are immune to people like Dana Perino.

Especially when the remainder of their lives will be spent fighting all the facts at how they have been prominent protagonists of the worst Administration ever. An Administration that should be tried for the crimes that it has caused.

And an administration calling itself a spreader of democracy, when they don't even practice it well themselves.
