You Can't Make This Stuff Up...

No, I'm not kidding:

Elliott Abrams, who pleaded guilty in 1991 to withholding information from Congress in the Iran-contra affair, was promoted to deputy national security adviser to President Bush.

Abrams, who previously was in charge of Middle East affairs, will be responsible for pushing Bush's strategy for advancing democracy.

What a relief! Since Condi left for State, I've been worried there weren't enough people in the National Security Adviser's office with real experience in lying to Congress.

Elliott Abrams, advancing democracy. He's such a jokester, our President.
