Bush Did Not Find Bin Laden

ABL at Balloon Juice opens up a great post with a pretty good description of Republicans (maybe not safe for work):









Teabillies: Yes, they are assholes. No they won’t act like adults.


Despite Obama’s calls for unity in the aftermath of “We killed that motherfucker,” Republicans are still acting like Republicans—that is to say—lying assholes.  First, they are falling all over themselves to assign credit to George Bush for nabbing Bin Laden1, despite two undeniable facts:
Fact One: George Bush gave up on the hunt for OBL, both in 2002 (when, at a press conference, Bush stated that he was no longer worried about finding Bin Laden) and then again in 2006 (when Bush closed the CIA unit tasked with finding Bin Laden).  Whether or not you fall into the weird contingent of people who are shedding morality tears for OBL, one thing is clear—this was all Obama.
Fact Two: Republicans are assholes (I think I may have mentioned that before):
She then goes on to the story of a teacher who, in front of the whole class, told a Muslim student, "I bet you're grieving."  Actually, there isn't anywhere that says the teacher is a Republican, but I would bet money on it.

Guess where that happened, yes, Texas.
