THE BLIND LEADING THE BLIND?

The blind leading the blind? Nope, it's worse than that.

First we had White House spokesperson, Dana Perino, doing her best Sgt. Schultz impersonation and admitting that she knew nothing about the Cuban Missile Crisis (she apparently doesn’t know much about the Bay of Pigs either).

Now we are treated to Right Wing nut job, Kevin James, railing against Barack Obama’s apparent appeasement in the Middle East because he's willing to talk to the enemy. Never mind that Bush the Elder's Secretary of State used and called for the same strategy.

For his effort, Keving James is then painfully embarrassed by Chris Matthews for not knowing what Neville Chamberlain did to forever earn the title of Hitler’s Appeaser.

Apart from demonstrating what a blowhard Kevin James is, the clip is actually pretty funny … until, of course, you realize that Perino and James are the same “people of influence” who like to use historical references to justify their positions.

No wonder everything’s messed up under Bush. History is not something to learn or draw lessons from. Team Bush sees history as something to be manipulated and used to prop up failed policies, or to adorn a bankrupt ideology.

This really puts another spin on former Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill's description of President Bush approaching policy like a “blind man in a room full of deaf people.”
