He's such a liar

In the Rose Garden today President Not-a-Fact-Checker said that he carefully, and deliberatively considered the intelligence before committing our nation to a historically significant pre-emptive war against a mythical threat. His words:

"I take personal responsibility for everything I say, of course," Bush said. He then shifted to the broader and more comfortable terrain to which he had confined his answer the previous time he was asked. "I also take responsibility for making decisions on war and peace," he said. "I analyzed a thorough body of intelligence, good, solid, sound intelligence that led me to come to the conclusion that it was necessary to remove Saddam Hussein from power."
Ohhh, strong deciscive words from a manly man. But wait let's see if he's used that kind of language before in a 'campaign' environment:
During his time in office Bush made numerous statements to this effect, among them "I take every death penalty case seriously and review each case carefully" and "Each case is major, because each case is life or death." In his autobiography he wrote, "I review every death penalty case thoroughly" and added, referring to his legal staff, "For every death penalty case, they brief me thoroughly, review the arguments made by the prosecution and the defense, raise any doubts or problems or questions." Bush always maintained that this review provided what he called a "fail-safe" method for ensuring due process and certainty of guilt.
Sound familiar? It's President McInjection talking about the incredible amount of time he spent agonizing over death penalty cases. Not. According to the article in the Atlantic, it was at most, maybe 30 minutes the day of an execution, if that. Only Shrubby and Al Gonzales know for sure.

As with the Texas Death Penalty cases, he analyzed nothing, probably read one 16 word memo and went jogging. The supposed CEO President deferred all this to others, looking only for revenge for the attempted assasination of his daddy (he's real big on that revenge thing); to get contracts for his donors to suck off the gov't tit in perpetuity, and of course to have one successful oil venture before Jenna and Barbie lose their livers to alcohol.

So once again:

Bush Lies, People Die

Jo, that's terribly unfair.

Sixteen words here, twenty-eight pages there, the point is he looks huge in a flight-suit. So there.

W's latest hit:

"I beg your pardon, I never promised you a Rose Garden."

All we got was the fertilizer.

I pride myself on being able to think on my ......well on my 4th point on contact, since I'm sitting down. And I like to think I can come up with some fairly accurate saber slashes when we're talking about the Occupant of the Oval Office.

But there is no way at all I could ever top you two guys. :)

My vote for you 2 to jointly get both ears and the tail.

Hmmm... the ever-original :Bush lies, people die" mantra.

If that's so true, why aren't the crazy Dems running for Prez saying that? Why not... because it's just plain dumb. It does, however, make Bush's opponents feel better about themselves.

It's early yet, CJ. The Dems are still sorting themselves out. Try to restrain your boyish enthusiasm.

I'm sure there will be lots of people shouting that mantra by next Autumn. So many, in fact, that I'll bet Commander Occupant will get scared and we'll have another terrorist attack, and then martial law, and no elections.

Lurch is right. It is perfectly obvious to me that the CIA, probably on personal orders of the Prez, recruited the alleged Arabs who flew those planes into the WTC. I have it on further good authority that the plane that piled it in over in PA was intentionally done, so they could make Mr. Beamer into a national hero. There is no Al Quaeda or Bin Laden, (he being a computer generated image only) the entire mess is a vast right wing conspiracy. Thank god (can't capitalize it anymore or someone might be offended that their right to athiesm is being curtailed) I am not one of those traitorous Republicans. Come back, Bill and bring Hill with you, we need to make you king for life so all will be sunshine and roses forever!!
