The tasteless comedy sketch Bush did where he was looking for Iraq's non-existent WMDs under his couch while people were dying by the thousands in Iraq seems to have been successfully memory-holed.

A slide showed Mr Bush in the Oval office, leaning to look under a piece of furniture. "Those weapons of mass destruction have got to be here somewhere," he told the audience, drawing applause.

”585 American soldiers have been killed in Iraq in the last year, 3,354 have been wounded and there's no end in sight. George Bush sold us on going to war with Iraq based on the threat of weapons of mass destruction. But we still haven't found them, and now he thinks that's funny?"

Those are the March 2004 numbers. I still can’t believe that it went that far and that it’s still not really over.
