No disassemble!

Herewith an excerpt of the transcript from today's Presidential press conference, held only a few hundred feet from my very office:

"THE PRESIDENT: I'm aware of the Amnesty International report, and it's absurd. It's an absurd allegation. The United States is a country that is—promotes freedom around the world. When there's accusations made about certain actions by our people, they're fully investigated in a transparent way. It's just an absurd allegation.

In terms of the detainees, we've had thousands of people detained. We've investigated every single complaint against the detainees. It seemed like to me they based some of their decisions on the word of—and the allegations—by people who were held in detention, people who hate America, people that had been trained in some instances to disassemble—that means not tell the truth. And so it was an absurd report. It just is."

Now, we all know that George isn't exactly the wordsmith he fancies himself. I'm tempted to take him to task about his use of the word "absurd," but any thinking person knows he's just trying to put up a smokescreen re the Amnesty report. What do those Commie tree-huggers know anyway? Did they expect him to actually 'fess up to approving water boarding and renditions? Please. The real issue here is his use of the word "disassemble." The word is "DISSEMBLE," you moron. If you're going to call additional attention to the word by defining it, at least have one of your little minion/handler-types school you on the correct pronunciation. Or would he say pronounciation? This kind of stuff just makes me think of Jon Lovitz as Dukakis on a late-80s SNL after squaring off in a debate against a less-than-articulate Bush 41:


"I can't believe I'm losing to this guy."

NB—"[W]e've investigated every single complaint against the detainees"? Huh? Since when were the complaints against the detainees? I thought the complaints were against the government. Shows you how much I know...
