Today, from the floor of the Israeli Knesset, George Bush spoke out against the imprudence of the Democrats’ foreign policies and the follies of appeasement. It being the 60th anniversary of the state of Israel, Bush couldn’t resist a Nazi reference:

Some seem to believe we should negotiate with terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along. We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: “Lord, if only I could have talked to Hitler, all of this might have been avoided.” We have an obligation to call this what it is – the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history.

Good God, man! At what point in a man’s presidential career does he become politically senile and oblivious to popular disapproval?

Maybe Godwin’s Law needs to be expanded to cover the probability of a lame duck president’s rhetorical comparison to Nazis or Hitler. We could call it the Bush exception.

Joe Biden’s response:

This is bullshit. This is malarkey.

Go get ‘em, Joe.

It wouldn’t be complete without the GOP’s favorite Democratic naysayer, Joe Lieberman:

President Bush got it exactly right today when he warned about the threat of Iran and its terrorist proxies like Hamas and Hezbollah. It is imperative that we reject the flawed and naïve thinking that denies or dismisses the words of extremists and terrorists when they shout “Death to America” and “Death to Israel,” and that holds that — if only we were to sit down and negotiate with these killers — they would cease to threaten us. It is critical to our national security that our commander-in-chief is able to distinguish between America’s friends and America’s enemies, and not confuse the two.

Joe “let’s bomb ‘em all” Lieberman on flawed thinking, ladies and gentlemen.
