Ann Coulter’s Best Column Ever

If anyone has been watching Hardball with Chris Matthews on MSNBC, you know the nightly political slander that is on-going relative to Vice-President Cheney and Scooter Libby. Nightly, David Schuster and Chris Matthews are frothing at the mouth in hopes of bringing down President Bush and his entire administration. Fortunately, Ann Coulter sets the record straight with an enlightening statement of facts. God Bless Ann Coulter for her truth-fullness and acerbic wit. This may be Ann’s best essay yet.

To see how liberal history is created, you need to tune into the nut-cable stations and watch their coverage of the Scooter Libby trial. On MSNBC they’re covering the trial like it’s the Normandy Invasion, starring Elvis Presley, as told by Joseph Goebbels.

MSNBC’s “reportage” consists of endless repetition of arbitrary assertions, half-truths and thoroughly debunked canards. No one else cares about the trial — except presumably Scooter Libby — so the passionate left is allowed to invent a liberal fable without correction.

Night after night, it is blithely asserted on “Hardball” that Wilson’s trip to Niger debunked the claim that Saddam Hussein had been seeking enriched uranium from Niger.

As David Shuster reported last week: “Wilson goes and finds out that the claim that Iraq was seeking uranium from Niger is not accurate.”

There have been massive investigations into this particular claim of “Ambassador” Joe Wilson, both here and in Britain. Nearly three years ago, a bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee concluded that this was not merely untrue, it was the opposite of the truth: Wilson’s report actually bolstered the belief that Saddam was seeking uranium from Niger.

“The panel found,” as The Washington Post reported on July 10, “that Wilson’s report, rather than debunking intelligence about purported uranium sales to Iraq, as he has said, bolstered the case for most intelligence analysts.” So you can see how a seasoned newsman like David Shuster might come to the exact opposite conclusion and then repeat this false conclusion on TV every night.
