Via Ackerman comes this snatch of Perino:

THOMAS: Yesterday, according to The New York Times, we dropped a bomb on a home in Sadr City and burned alive a pregnant woman and her children. How long is the siege of Sadr -- how long are we going to keep bombing Iraqis?


PERINO: Well, I'm not aware of that particular report. I have not -- I've not seen it.

THOMAS: Well, it was pretty buried in the story.

PERINO: Okay. Well, the operation against the militias in Sadr City will continue until they root them out. And that is expressly in order to protect people like you just mentioned.

It's a pity that Kurt Vonnegut no longer walks among us. He'd have himself a radical new way of re-imagining the Dresden firebombing.

Sometimes, you just can't improve on a comment so idiotic, so utterly beyond the pale, that it manages to surpass any satirist's wildest imaginings. This is one of those times.

I'm still not sure if Perino isn't Ed Harris in drag.

And we'll save Iraq even if we have to murder every damn Iraqi to do it!

Unless it was a recent headline shouted to her by the Washington Times or on Fox News, Perino will not be aware of it.

When is Perino *not* stumped by any question?

She's only as stupid as the person she speaks for.
Incompetence from the top down- that's been Bush Co's way since day one.
