White House Tool/Puppet potentially ‘hot’ Press Secretary Dana Perino has been at the forefront of the administrations efforts to label Iran a rogue terrorist state bent on developing ‘nucular’ weapons (and ultimately a grave danger to us all).

These claims have been undermined recently by the release of a consensus report from 16 U.S. Intelligence agencies agreeing that the Islamic state halted its nuclear weapons program in 2003.

Apparently Dana doesn’t know much about nukes at all - or, for that matter, historical dangers to the country.

Dana admitted this week that when a reporter asked a question about the Cuban Missile Crisis, she had no idea what it was, and glossed over it until she could ask her husband what it was:

“I was panicked a bit because I really don’t know about . . . the Cuban Missile Crisis,” said Perino, referring to the 1962 crisis on which the U.S. and Russia sat on the brink of nuclear war. “It had to do with Cuba and missiles, I’m pretty sure.”

“I came home and I asked my husband,” she admitted. “I said, ‘Wasn’t that like the Bay of Pigs thing?’”

Once again proving there is NO reason to take anything these people say seriously.

HUMOROUS UPDATE: Dana Perino’s husband is actually British!
