The Right-Wing Chorus, always focused on the "BIG" things literally, burned up the internet over Obama mixing up Auschwitz and Buchenwald concentration camps.

I'm going to to go out on a limb here and declare they were both hell-on-earth.

But, somehow this minor error -- of a type that each of the candidates make regularly in some fashion the more they speak during the never-ending campaign, has to them suddenly become the biggest story EVAH!

This would really concern me, if I thought Obama had lost the votes of the likes of Powerline, Redstate and Michelle Malkin. But amazingly, he never had them to begin with. Try not to fall over in shock.

But these clowns jump on this gaffe having kissed the unerringly wrong keister of George Bush for seven and a half years.

Let us not forget this love sonnet to Mr. 28% from a besotted John Hinderaker:

"It must be very strange to be President Bush. A man of extraordinary vision and brilliance approaching to genius, he can't get anyone to notice. He is like a great painter or musician who is ahead of his time, and who unveils one masterpiece after another to a reception that, when not bored, is hostile."

Meanwhile, back in the real world, just yesterday, among the many outright lies to downright stupidities of the Stuffed-Flightsuit was this:

McClellan describes Bush as able to convince himself of his own spin and relates a phone call he overheard Bush having during the 2000 campaign, in which he said he could not remember whether he had used cocaine. "I remember thinking to myself, 'How can that be?' " he writes.

If you cannot remember, you did too much.

And on Tuesday as noted here and here, John McCain -- who is the new unerring acolyte of the ever-obtainable never achieved victory in assorted wars ongoing or yet to be named -- said this in a speech about curbing nuclear proliferation:

Many believe all we need to do to end the nuclear programs of hostile governments is have our president talk with leaders in Pyongyang and Tehran, as if we haven't tried talking to these governments repeatedly over the past two decades.

We've been talking to the leaders of Tehran?

That's funny, you would think we left-wingers would be applauding a rare moment of Bush doing what we advocate. But, as you know, while we have had multiparty talks with North Korea that have produced some results, we haven't directly communicated with the government of Iran in a long, long time in any official capacity, at least since Ronald Reagan sent over an inscribed Bible with a smiley face sticker.

In fact, as Hilzoy notes:

Does McCain not understand that the stated policy of the U.S. government since April 7, 1980 has been to NOT TALK TO THE IRANIANS. And that we have not negotiated with Iran over their nuclear weapons program.

The whole issue on Iran and whatever it has for a nuclear weapons program is that WE DO NOT TALK TO THEM, the question is whether changing this policy so as to actually talk with them could possibly be any worse.

And, of course, it could not.

But McCain apparently thinks all prior Administrations, including Bush II, have been chatting up the Iranians all this time to no avail.

And yet Obama is the one making the gaffes?

Is there no end to the rings the right-wing clown show will add?
