Perino Brushes Off Powell WMD Anniversary: ‘I Didn’t Realize It Was Today, Glad You Keep Tabs’
Perino Brushes Off Powell WMD Anniversary: ‘I Didn’t Realize It Was Today, Glad You Keep Tabs’
Today marks the fifth anniversary of Colin Powell’s presentation on Iraqi WMD before the United Nations. In today’s White House press briefing, a reporter noted the milestone and asked Perino what the White House is doing to “make a repeat of that kind of blunder impossible.”
Perino laughed at the question, stating, “I didn’t realize that was the anniversary today.” She then sarcastically replied, “I’m glad you keep tabs on it.” Watch it:
Some others keeping tabs on this tragic anniversary: Attaturk, Scott Lemieux, Mother Jones, and Greg Mitchell.
Transcript:
QUESTION: Dana, today’s the fifth anniversary of Colin Powell’s U.N. presentation on Iraq. I’m wondering whether you think that the intel reforms (inaudible) since then make a repeat of that kind of blunder impossible.
PERINO: I didn’t realize that was the anniversary today.
(LAUGHTER)
I’m glad you keep tabs on it. I think there is no doubt that this administration took a lot of input from a lot of different places — independent commissions, including the WMD Commission — to establish reforms throughout the intelligence community, which are working very well.
And I remember Fran Townsend, at her last briefing here before she left, indicated that, in her experience, that the agencies were giving — sharing a lot more information, and that was making our nation safer.
QUESTION: Do you have any reaction to Britain’s Prince Andrew criticizing the U.S. for not following the advice (inaudible)?
PERINO: No.

Airhead Perino doesn’t realize much, does she?
February 5th, 2008 at 2:37 pmPerino, almost as dumb as our trolls.
February 5th, 2008 at 2:39 pmIDIOT.
February 5th, 2008 at 2:41 pmYes, we do have long memories. Especially when it’s a memory of being lied to.
February 5th, 2008 at 2:41 pmUhmmm… she realizes anything actually?

I doubt Perino could figure out how to submit a comment.

February 5th, 2008 at 2:46 pmA bright, shining example of what qualifications are required to work in the Bush Administration.
1. Unwavering loyalty.
2. Master of deception and deflection.
3. Absolute truth avoidance.

February 5th, 2008 at 2:47 pmPerino laughed at the question, stating, “I didn’t realize that was the anniversary today.†She then sarcastically replied, “I’m glad you keep tabs on it.â€
February 5th, 2008 at 2:49 pmHow about asking the family members of the over 4,000 US military members that have perished or the survivors of the over 1 million Iraqi people that have been exterminated if they remember , you sorry , stupid , callous , empty-headed little bimbo ……….?
Perino laughed at the question, stating, “I didn’t realize that was the anniversary today.†She then sarcastically replied, “I’m glad you keep tabs on it.â€
February 5th, 2008 at 2:50 pmShe then thought,
Because with lies that destroy thousands of American families, and hundreds of thousands of Iraqi families, it’s best when they are swept under the rug and forgotten.
Take notice that instead of answering the question, she demonstrated the patented ‘blow you off’ technique mastered by Ari, Tony, et al…
February 5th, 2008 at 2:50 pmPerino laughed at the question, stating, “I didn’t realize that was the anniversary today…â€
“… matter of fact, I don’t realize much of anything. I don’t know much of anything. I’m in fact a complete bimbo, kind of a walking, human “Eliza”, with the maladministration tittering in the back room and placing bets on how long it will take you folks to catch on and just walk out in disgust….”
“Nothing in my noggin….”
Cheers,
February 5th, 2008 at 2:51 pmSomething else they can’t recall. We’ll just add this to the list.

February 5th, 2008 at 2:51 pmDana was awarded this position in light of her numerous contributions to frat parties at Colorado State, to men who are now incompetent at their jobs across the US.
February 5th, 2008 at 2:52 pmif it’s not about shopping for shoes, that girl don’t know squat about it.

February 5th, 2008 at 2:53 pmThere is nothing “cute” about being an empty-headed , lying bimbo tool for the Chimpy Administration ; it’s despicable , plain and simple…………
Do your thing Dana Purina, so we can subpoeana the shrub and impeach him for perjury.
February 5th, 2008 at 2:53 pmWe were just so BUSY with COMMITTING TREASON against the American people, that we just PLUMB forgot!!
Lotsa TREASON to do, you know…
February 5th, 2008 at 2:54 pmHa Ha another Bush spokeperson having their ass handed to them lol.
February 5th, 2008 at 2:55 pmDana Perino - another one of those “problematic white women”.
February 5th, 2008 at 2:56 pmOh Dana, my sweet, vapid blonde, the buzz surrounding your press conferences now approximates that of a depressed bee in a Tupperware container.
February 5th, 2008 at 2:56 pmDoes anyone seem to get the impression that these people are amoral and sadistic?
February 5th, 2008 at 2:56 pmPerino laughed at the question, stating, “I didn’t realize that was the anniversary today.†She then sarcastically replied, “I’m glad you keep tabs on it.â€
February 5th, 2008 at 2:57 pmYa know , if I were that reporter , I would have laughed at her and then exclaimed : “Well , most of us here also remember the Cuban Missile crisis and the Bay of Pigs , and that they were separate incidents , too”………….

Interesting, she laughed but the reporters didn’t. And wtf is she talking about “improving intelligence”. Bush had the right intelligence information. It just didn’t support his plan so he changed the information to fit his needs and then blamed the intelligence community for his f**k-up. Bush acts like a child and so does Perino.
February 5th, 2008 at 2:59 pmThe LIES of Colin Powell. Very Damning.

February 5th, 2008 at 2:59 pmIt would be poetic justice if an old college photo of Dana partying nude, snorting coke should suddenly surface. Her answers might qualify her for Dancing With The Stars.
February 5th, 2008 at 3:00 pmMonica Goodling, another problematic white woman. Where are they all coming from?
John McCain: “More wars, less jobs”.
February 5th, 2008 at 3:01 pmArn - Would you mind not shouting by turning off the “bold”? It makes reading your comments easier and I really am interested in what you have to say.
February 5th, 2008 at 3:03 pmPerino is a Ditz
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ditz
February 5th, 2008 at 3:09 pmThe anniversary of the end of Colin Powell’s political career and the beginning of the Iraqi people’s death sentence. Dana, you problematic white woman, you must be so proud of the boy Bush. What will be left for you Dana, after the trash gets swept out of the White House on January 20, 2009?
February 5th, 2008 at 3:09 pmIt is the aniversary of the War Criminal Collin Powell UN’s presentation of the US’s government LIES! Collin Powell presented to the world cartoons and graphics as ‘hard evidence’. It is a disgrace! A shame! A crime! Bimbo Perino knows that, but she has to do her job: Lie to the world and to the American people for the Criminal WH administration.
February 5th, 2008 at 3:11 pm“BREAKING THE SILENCE” is a special report by John Pilger about the truths and LIEs of the US/UK invasion and occupation of Afeganistan and Iraq. YOU TUBE IT!
Damn, she’s not even trying anymore.
Valid question asked
Vapid attempt at joke
Idiotic rationalization
Bush makes country safe
Next question please
The annoying part is that the media just sits there nodding their heads like some bobblehead doll you get at a ball game.
February 5th, 2008 at 3:11 pm“I doubt Perino could figure out how to submit a comment.”
You may well be right, Dr. Matt. And that probably is a good thing.
February 5th, 2008 at 3:14 pm“Does anyone seem to get the impression that these people are amoral and sadistic?”
Umm, is this a trick question?
February 5th, 2008 at 3:16 pmHistory is hard to recall when the office next door is busy rewriting it.
February 5th, 2008 at 3:19 pmPerino needs to return to thinking about puppies and bunnies.
February 5th, 2008 at 3:20 pmShe then sarcastically replied, “I’m glad you keep tabs on it.â€
Well Dana , that’s so future historians won’t have trouble keeping straight the mountain of lies that this administration has spewed …………
February 5th, 2008 at 3:23 pmbut,she is kinda cute.

Arn - Would you mind not shouting by turning off the “bold� It makes reading your comments easier and I really am interested in what you have to say.
Had me worried there for a sec. Glad I scrolled up. I though you were saying I forgot my close tags….
— Arne Langsetmo (now showing as “zuch”)
February 5th, 2008 at 3:26 pmof course they don’t want to talk about it……the traitor powell can no longer show his face in public. Remember before the war he was at book signings regularly…..no more.
he participated in the murder of Iraqies running from the combat in Kuwait……remember the highway of death……
then he betrayed America by announcing the fact that we were going to invade Iraq and used lies and made up shit to excuse it….
he is a traitor and should fall on his sword…….
no honor…….ever. He was always part of the problem.
February 5th, 2008 at 3:27 pmWhat will be left for you Dana, after the trash gets swept out of the White House on January 20, 2009?

Comment by raynman — February 5, 2008
It is more than annoying! The media is responsible bares responsability of today’s mess! It has lost credibility! People who read newspapers and whatch television have no idea of the carnage made by the USA in Iraq and elsewhere! “BREAKING THE SILENCE” a special report by John Pilger. The truth and lies about the US/IK invasion and occupation of Iraq and Afeganistan. YOU TUBE IT!!!
February 5th, 2008 at 3:37 pmThe fourth estate is now about the third and one eighth estate…
February 5th, 2008 at 3:38 pmThey must truly be stupid.
How do they look in the mirror with out blowing out there brains.
If they had any they would do it.
February 5th, 2008 at 3:39 pmCome on guys, Perino doesn’t want to end up like this reporter so she tries to fool everyone so that she can keep her job. Right? Right?
February 5th, 2008 at 3:43 pmWhat will be left for you Dana, after the trash gets swept out of the White House on January 20, 2009?
February 5th, 2008 at 3:46 pmProbably she will be their WH speaker, since the Democrats are not doing much at all to hold this criminal administration accountable… They took over the house of Representatives and congress with the mandate to change the course… have they done that??? No, the first thing the Rat Pelosi did was to take what everybody, inside the US and around the globe, wanted! “Impeachment off the table”. There will not be much change at all. Check who Clinton picked for her advisers, and check Who is donating money to Obama… I sincerely hope it will change, but the reality is…
Sorry I meant ‘everybody wanted IMPEACHMENT, and the Rat Pelosi took it off the table…
February 5th, 2008 at 3:48 pmComment by sacopenapa
I’m not thrilled with our democrats either but you cannot fairly put them in the same box with these criminals……..none of this would be happening if our elected president…a democrat ….Al Gore were in office.
February 5th, 2008 at 3:50 pmDana reminds me of the South Carolina entrant in the Miss Teen USA - 2007 beauty pageant; nothing but an airhead talking in circles.
February 5th, 2008 at 3:59 pmyou don’t think she got that job because she’s qualified in any way do you?
Comment by Fred — February 5, 2008 @ 3:23 pm
Actually, she doesn’t fit this administration’s mold.
February 5th, 2008 at 4:01 pmJeff Gannon? Yes!
Did the Powell statements happen during the Bay of Pigs?? (what a zero…)
February 5th, 2008 at 4:05 pmWhat a true air head this woman is! What is very troubling is that she really means it when she indicated that she had no idea that the WMD Powell thing anniversary was now. She is the ultimate role model for all the dumb blond jokes. Why the hell don’t they just put her on the shopping cable channels as a host and take us all out of our misery?
February 5th, 2008 at 4:06 pmIn less than a year, this fatuous, bubble-headed incompetent will be reading teleprompters at Faux Gnus.
February 5th, 2008 at 4:16 pmPinnochio Perino,just a bootlicking NoeCon doing her job of bootlicking.
February 5th, 2008 at 4:20 pmAh, yes, the little lady, Perino, shouldn’t bother her pretty little head with important historical matters.
February 5th, 2008 at 5:11 pmJeez, these press people are not paid enormous amounts of money to stand there lying and denying for the criminals in the White House. They are pretty cheap prostitutes for Bush&Co when you look at the whole picture.
I don’t know why they don’t see that they have made a deal with the devil for a few pieces of silver.
Woof! Woof! Dana, you make me howl.
February 5th, 2008 at 6:18 pmPerino is turning out to be a mean-spirited person. Almost makes one long for the days of Scott McClellan.
February 5th, 2008 at 7:09 pmFrankly Dana, I don’t listen to a thing that comes out of the white house anymore. I don’t think you and the other “believers” bring anything but Bull*hit to your little song and dance. It’s embarassing to watch your little magical mystery tour so I don’t listen to you spew. You and all the rest of the magicians should be ashamed!
February 5th, 2008 at 7:51 pmRhymes with “hunt”.
