Remember how Michael Kinsley put it, long before Iraq, "Bush II administration lies are often so laughably obvious that you wonder why they bother. Until you realize: They haven't bothered."
How about this as a campaign slogan: “We rip off undergraduate papers and use their quotes out of context in order to pander to Cuban-Americans.” And while we’ve been talking about The Note, which provided the original link to this story, it’s both interesting and significant that they did not bother to point out that the Bush administration was deliberately distorting the truth. Like, how lame is it to worry about a silly thing like truth?

Bush II administration lies are often so laughably obvious that you wonder why they bother. Until you realize: They haven't bothered. If telling the truth was less bother, they'd try that too. The characteristic Bush II form of dishonesty is to construct an alternative reality on some topic and to regard anyone who objects to it as a sniveling dweeb obsessed with "nuance," which the president of this class, I mean of the United States, has more important things to do than worry about....
