Perino and the "Cuban Missile Crisis"
Think on this next time Dana Perino assures you about some world event. This is her revealing what she did and didn't know about the Cuban Missile Crisis:

Dana Perino really gets my goat. I dont know why, it's not like she's any bigger of a liar/whore than Tony Snow or Scott McClellan. Maybe it was her sneer/threat to Helen Thomas that pushed me over the edge, but I really dont like her.
I simply find her vacuous, which is why I think she annoys me so much.
