Dancing with the Stars--Tucker Carlson. He embarrassed himself when he interviewed David Brock.

Bush said today: "Saddam Hussein, not continued U.S. involvement in Iraq, is responsible for ongoing sectarian violence that is threatening the formation of a democratic government."
Larry Johnson:

"When in doubt, blame the guy in jail. So, at what point did George discover that Saddam's previous grotesque behavior spawned sectarian strife?
