…at the thought that many of these people truly believed that this day would never come–that the Iraqi people perhaps didn’t like Saddam, but they would never welcome the Evil Amerikkkans (TM) as liberators. They must have been sincere in such a belief, or they would never have set themselves up to look like the fools that they are.

Looking at pictures of weeping and cheering Iraqi men kissing pictures of George Bush has to be Nancy Pelosi and Tom Daschle’s (not to mention George Galloway, Michael Moore, and countless others) biggest nightmare come true.

Janeane Garofalo told O’Reilly that if this day came, she’d come back on the Factor and apologize. I hope Bill’s got a nice fricasee of crow on the burner, but I doubt if she’ll keep her word.

Someone at Free Republic dug up the transcript:

O’REILLY: If you are wrong? and if the United States – and they will, this is going to happen – goes in, liberates Iraq [with] people in the street, American flags, hugging our soldiers? you gonna apologize to George W. Bush?

GARAFALO [sic]: I would be so willing to say, “I’m sorry”. I hope to God that I can be made a buffoon of, that people will say, “You were wrong. You were a fatalist”. And I will go to the White House on my knees on cut glass and say, “Hey, you and Thomas Friedman were right? I shouldn’t have doubted you?”

Better strap on the knee pads, Buffoon.
