SPSST is a roundup of the blisteringly stupid things that come out of the mouths of conservatives in the media and in politics.

"The president goes on his ‘I killed Usama’ victory tour. Which I don’t have any problem with spiking the football, to use his terms. You know, as this happens, this is what has now emerged and it’s also Hayden, its three former CIA directors, Leon Panetta, as well, that without enhanced interrogation, without rendition, without black sites, this day would not have been possible. So, if we want more successful days like this, we must argue that the Obama policies were wrong and the Bush policies were right."
