Glenn Greenwald is on this so I don't have to be, but ruhhly, you would think that, in its never-ending desire to fit the "facts" in its newspaper to suit the fantasies of this awful president, The Washington Post would:

a) stop short of changing stories already published in the paper so as to cover up for the president's lies.

b) do a little bit less of this kind of thing now that the president has been repudiated by a far larger percentage of voters than voted against Bill Clinton 12 years ago.

Note also Greenwald's observation of Howie's column on it, "the whole point of which is to explore the unbelievably stupid question of whether Bush's lie about Rumsfeld was "on par with [meaning: as bad as] President Bill Clinton's hair-splitting defense in the Monica S. Lewinsky investigation that 'it all depends on what the definition of is is'? In other words, was Bush's pre-election 'untruth' about management of the Iraq war as bad as Clinton's lie about sex with Monica?"
