So this weekend I was in Cleveland visiting my parents, and I read the local paper, the Plain Dealer. In an article about Iraq, I came across the following quote, attributed to Senator Tom Daschle: “The evil ones now find themselves in crisis, and this is God’s will for them.”
Right away, I think this has to be a mistake. Someone like Daschle would never use that kind of inflated, pseudo-religious rhetoric. But, I do remember that someone in the U.S. government with the initials G.W.B. is always yammering on about the “evil ones”.
Today I’m over at fark.com and I see a link saying that the quote was indeed misattributed, but it didn’t say to whom. I think to myself, “I knew it! It was Bush all along.”
Then I followed the link, and it turns out that it wasn’t Bush at all, but rather a voice on a tape claiming to be Saddam Hussein.
Interpretation is left to the reader.
