"The Sky Is Falling With WMD!"

So you thought Little Ricky was the only Repug jumping up and down last week about supposedly finding WMD in Iraq which, as it turned out, were canisters of an expired chemical agent that David Kay knew about anyway.

Au contraire!

Nope, it turns out that the one and only Crazy Curt Weldon was hot on the phony trail also (as Tom Ferrick, Jr. of the Inquirer noted here, where he includes this humorous excerpt):

"So, let's add it up: Don't tell the Democrats [about WMD's]. Don't tell anyone in the intelligence community. Don't tell the Department of Defense. Just go to a war zone and dig up the WMD's Gaubatz believed he had located for a photo op. Strikes me as weird. Strikes me as whacky. Strikes me as typical Weldon."
Also, as long as we’re talking Iraq here, Bob Cesca of The Huffington Post caught Russ Feingold going toe-to-toe with Timmeh of “Bleat The Press” yesterday, in which The Only Democrat Who Totally And Completely Gets It pointed out that Gen. George Casey is advocating a plan for drawing down troops in Iraq similar to what the Democrats have offered for which they have been flayed and pilloried mercilessly by the Repugs who, after all, created the mess anyway by not listening to anyone who ACTUALLY KNEW WHAT WAS GOING ON BEFORE BUSHCO DECIDED TO START A PRE-EMPTIVE WAR BASED ON LIES!

(Oh, and one more thing - I forgot this a few minutes ago - but speaking of lies, I've roundly chastised Joe Biden for quite appropriate reasons, but he had a good comeback for Billion Dollar Cheney recently.)

Update: Here's something else I forgot to link to (slipping, Doomsy...get with the program!) - this good question, which is where and how did Little Ricky get those declassified docs anyway?
