Violet Socks is driven insane by the ultimate cognitive dissonance in George Bush demanding "clarifications" to the Geneva Convention, "clarifications", of course, meaning "sophistry". liberal catnip has a video from Keith Olbermann's show with an extended excerpt from a press conference with Bush justifying himself before a press conference in the Rose Garden.
I sympathize with the law expert dude at the end of the Olbermann clip, but he is naive to imagine that this sort of thing is new. The founding of the United States itself required an unbelievable amount of cognitive dissonance on the part of folks like Jefferson. Nevertheless, it's likely that this episode exhibits an unusual level of pathetic comedy. Sophistry is like that.
