"Shhhhhhhhhhhhh, don't say anything true...

... it may cost us the election."

And this is funny in a nerdy and completely depressing kind of way.

update: This also needs to be said.

From Eric Alterman:

While George Bush and company were out invading countries that did not threaten us in any way, wasting trillions, killing tens of thousands, destroying functioning infrastructure, torturing innocents, inspiring hatred, and portraying America as a nation of incompetent, lying, torturing, illegal phone-tapping hypocrites to the entire world, what else was happening?

Oh yeah, he was AWOL on taking the steps needed to prevent a nuclear 9/11.

This is not some crazy commie leftist latte-drinking thing, it’s a new study from the Council on Foreign Relations whose new report, Preventing Catastrophic Nuclear Terrorism, notices, “while the 'threat of a nuclear attack by terrorists has never been greater, the U.S. government has yet to make prevention the highest priority.'"
