Conservative response to crisis

Digby perfectly sums up the attempts by the McCain campaign and Bush administration to LIE about the translation of Maliki's agreement with Obama's 16 month time frame for US troops to exit Iraq. Pith at its finest:

So we have the conservative response to crisis: secrecy, incompetence, muddying the waters based on irrelevant and untrue technicalities, continuing the zombie lies after they're disproven, and finally revealing the truth, that they think they know better than the wogs anyway. Also, the media has repeatedly soft-pedaled Maliki's remarks and at times tried to sow contradictions where none exist.

Ah yes, the media enablers, the lovers of Saint John McCain, the straight shooting maverick.
