earlier this week, cenk uygur highlighted the fact that condoleezza rice seemed to use the nixonian "it's legal if the president does it, it must be legal" defense. yesterday, scott horton posted a piece for harpers which included a video of her extended remarks to the students and listed some of the more egregious factual errors that condy made.
meanwhile, right blogistan seemed to be completely unaware of what was going on. they only discovered rice's remarks when the right-leaning daily telegraph site posted the very same video. that triggered a whole series of pro-condy posts that only highlights the right's complete inability to notice all the stuff that rice got wrong.
the fact that rice was repeating lines popularized circa 2004 that have since been shown to be false doesn't register with them. they don't even argue against those problems because they are completely unaware they are even problems. in some ways, they're still living in 2004. they don't seem to have even a passing familiarity with a lot of the stuff that has come out since then. that's pretty much where much of right blogistan is right now.
(via memeorandum)
