The Dumbest Thing I’ve Read All Day: 10/11

Yet another left wing blogger playing stupid?

Or does it just come naturally?

John Amato at CrooksandLiarsblog again, taking Condoleza Rice out of context and then putting words in her mouth

Condi Backs Clinton Over North Korea

RICE: We have been through bilateral talks with the North Koreans in the
1994 Agreed Framework, it didn’t hold.  They…

BLITZER:  That was a mistake the Clinton administration…

RICE:  No.  I will not blame anyone for trying.  I just know that the 1994 agreement, of course, didn’t hold.  The North Koreans cheated.

BLITZER:  Is there any evidence that what the Clinton administration did helped North Korea build these bombs?

RICE:  Oh, I think North Korea has been persistent and has been consistent in pursuing this nuclear weapons program for decades.  Now, it is going to have to be fought.  And the international community is speaking with one voice very loudly, because the North Koreans crossed an important line when they proclaimed that they had conducted a nuclear test.

Help me out here, I heard Condi being civil and not wanting to point fingers, but I didn’t read anything about her saying that Clinton’s idea of bilateral talks which ended up awarding the Norks nuclear reactors at Jimmy Carter’s recommendation being a “good thing”.

Did I miss something, or is Amato just looking for a propagandist post title?

    I saw that one at lunch yesterday while flipping channels (I always stop when I see Condi).

    At the time, I thought it was abundantly clear that Blitzer was trying to get her to say something either blatantly for or blatantly against the Clinton administration, and she ducked it pretty well.
