It's Hard to Speak Convincingly When You're LYING
I am watching (momentarily) the PBS Wall Street Journal show that follows Bill Moyers. The problem with all of these lying whores is that they don't lie WELL.

Similarly, I have seen several Bush clips today where he is CLEARLY regurgitating lines fed to him via earwig. Is this ACCEPTABLE in the presumed leader of the free world? A man unable to speak for himself? If you watch his appearance today in the Oval Office where he is asked a question about Kofi Annan, it is VERY CLEAR that he is pausing for cues from his earpiece and then repeating the lines.

Is PERCEPTION irrelevant these days? Am I not allowed to trust my own eyes and ears? What about you?

2. If perception weren't completely irrelevant these days,
59 million dumbasses wouldn't have voted for Bush.

4. * has been doing this for years, and
people love it. Regurgitating is a perfect word. And after seeing the debates, perception must be irrelevant.
