David Shuster hosted Hardball this evening and when one of the guests tried to conflate 9/11 with Iraq Mr. Shuster cut him off at the knees. He just wasn't having it. Mr. Shuster said that I cannot allow you to finish with linking Iraq with 9/11 when everyone knows that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11.

Oh, where were questions like that 4 1/2 years ago? And how unfortunate is it that we have to still call people on that lie? But we have to do it every single time.

Later on the same program Shelly Cohan from the Boston Herald said that no one outside the beltway cares about Scooter Libby. Hey, guess what Ms. Cohan, I live a long way from the beltway and I care. It was front page news here in Lakeland, Florida. Huge headline, above the fold.

We care. Stop lying.
