Hm. Via Kevin Drum, we see this ABC News interview last week with Teh Leader, in which Martha Raddatz asks Bush why, as violence in Iraq was spiraling out of control in 2006, he kept insisting that we were winning:

BUSH: Well, yes. I think we — and I wanted — that’s as much trying to bolster the spirits of the people in the field as well as — look, you can’t have the commander in chief say to a bunch of kids who are sacrificing either, “It’s not worth it,” or, “You’re losing.” I mean, what does that do for morale?

But, you know, I’m sure he’s telling us the truth now. Notes Drum:

We deserve to be told the truth by our political leaders? Such a quaint notion.

Gil,

About time you quit with the "teh."

From the Urban Dictionary:

An expression used by idiots to helpfully identify themselves to other idiots.

Idiot 1: That's awesome.
Idiot 2: Wait, what?
Idiot 1: Uh, I mean, that's "TEH" awesome!
Idiot 2: Oh, thank god! For a second there I thought I wasn't talking to another idiot!
Idiot 1: "PNWED"!
