Vindication!

You won't see that word used in any news reports on the findings of the President's commission on intelligence. Yet vindicate the President is what the commission has done. Here's an excerpt from a story on CNN.com:

'Most of the material it was based on was "either worthless or misleading." Important for the President, the report states that his Administration didn't pressure intelligence analysts to support its conclusions about Iraq.' [emphasis added]

Now what do you think the odds are that the President will be getting an apology from Ted "I'm a Bloated Gas Bag" Kennedy or John "Did I Mention I'm a War Hero?" Kerry?

Yeah, I'm holding my breath, too.
