And Counting, Really...

As you may have heard about 48 times already today, May 1 is the first anniversary of President Bush's "Mission Accomplished" speech. Yes, it was four years ago that we won the Iraq war! Duh!

Anyway, Good Day Philadelphia's Clayton Morris chimed in this morning on the subject, and as you might have guessed, it's a beauty:

It's hard to believe that 4 years ago today President Bush landed on that aircraft carrier announcing "Mission Accomplished." The war is, of course, a long forgotten memory; but whatever happened to that fantastic banner? Does someone have it? Is it hidden in someone's closet? Who knows? What do you think should happen to that banner?

1. Put it on display at the George W. Bush Presidential library?

2. Sell it on Ebay?

3. Ask for their money back?

4. Not sure?

Normally I'd just think he's kidding about the "long forgotten memory" part, but, remember, Fox 29 meteorologist David Aldrich doesn't believe in global warming.

I'm actually down with item #3, though. I want my $421 billion back!
