Miracles do happen!

You might want to sit down for this.

An anchorman on a national news broadcast called our unduly appointed leader on the carpet regarding one of his multitudinous misstatements.

I know, I know -- it's hard to believe one of these guys was paying enough attention or had cojones enough to call Dubya on his duplicity, but Peter Jennings has apparently grown a pair in recent days.

Dubya claimed that John Kerry "said that the world is better off with Saddam in power."

He did nothing of the kind, of course. And Jennings follows the clip of Bush with Kerry's words, revealing Bush's dissembling spin for what it is.

It ought not to be a breakthrough development for a prominent member of the mainstream media to call Dubya on his lies, but sadly, it is. Here's hoping this is just the beginning.

You can hear the clip here, or view it on this site.
