Attempts to salvage a legacy for President Bush accelerate as Ari Fleischer takes to the airwaves and battles MSNBC Hardball host Chris Matthews. Fleischer believes that President Obama should thank former President Bush for presenting Obama with a Saddam Hussein-free world. Never mind the carnage and a Middle East void filled by Iran, Fleischer seemingly has little problem that the Osama bin Laden, the true 9/11 culprit, roams free to plot at will against America. America hasnt been attacked since, but Bush should not be blamed for the terrorist attach on September 11. As for the world economic crisis, sure its a problem, but since President Clinton left a recession for Bush, then a little depression must be okay, too. The featured segment is a recap presented by Keith Olbermann, host of MSNBC Countdown. Olbermann sums up his clips of the Ari Fleischer and Chris Matthews interview with a wow and he (Ari Fleischer) must be stoned. Jonathan Alter adds commentary. Revisionist history was often deployed during the Bush Administration and its now becoming a cottage industry. Opinion.

![Spill Baby Spill Palin Blames Greenies
Washington, D.C. With the disastrous Gulf oil spill as a backdrop, Sarah Palin lies about her drill, baby, drill mantra championed by McCain-Palin 2008 and numerous Republicans including Rudy Giuliani and the entire 2008 GOP Republican National Convention. Palin is now claiming that she didnt mean offshore drilling which is totally opposite from the truth so much so that this example could be used to define lying.
From Media Matters: After lying about death panels, the Bridge to Nowhere, aerial hunting, and pretty much everything else shes known for, it should come as no surprise that half-term governor turned Fox News analyst Sarah Palin would lie about the mantra that came to define her ill-fated run for the vice presidency: Drill, baby, drill!
And lie she did heres Sarah Palin on Twitter wagging her digital finger at the Extreme Greenies regarding the Gulf oil spill: [S]ee now why we pushdrill,baby,drillof known reserves&promising finds in safe onshore places like ANWR? Now do you get it?
The message is clear: drill, baby, drill was never about dangerous offshore drilling like the Deepwater Horizon site, it was about safe onshore locations like ANWR. Except that it wasnt.
