The political memory is quite the elegant organ and always has been. It’s unlikely there’s been a single politician in history – world history – that hasn’t done something they’d rather forget.

However, the Bush Administration has made not remembering into an art form – or a virulent disease.

The latest  presentation of this Executive epidemic is found below:

AP June 29, 2008 – DUJIANGYAN, China – Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice praised China’s post-quake recovery efforts during a visit to the disaster zone on Sunday, saying that it contrasted with Myanmar’s reluctance to allow in aid after a cyclone devastated the country.

Yes, even classical pianist and third rate Sec of State, Condi Rice, has fallen victim. (Although her behavior over the last seven years shows she waved off every attempt at inoculation.) Here’s a bit more of her praise for China:

“I can see that the Chinese government and officials have been attentive,” Rice told reporters after the tour. “I can see how much effort has gone into the recovery. But with a disaster of this magnitude, no one can do it alone…”I can see that the Chinese government and officials have been attentive,” Rice told reporters after the tour. “I can see how much effort has gone into the recovery. But with a disaster of this magnitude, no one can do it alone.”

Now, the only question I have is, where was she when Katrina devastated New Orleans?
