When has anyone from BushCo ever told the truth?
Anyone at all in the upper echelons, at any time since 2000?
Can't think of anything myself, 'cept when Herr Rumsfeld predicted another attack just before the Penatgon was hit on 9/11.

If you get stuck, you can post one of the lies.

1. When they give their names.
I believe they are usually truthful when they give their names.

2. I think Bush once said
"I'm George W. Bush and I approve this message" on one of the lying campaign commercials....but since the commercial was a lie and distortion, I don't know if that counts.

4. Just 2 month after 9-11, GWBush told an interviewer that he and Laura...
GWBush told an interviewer (Barbara Walters?)that he and Laura were having their "best year ever".

He also said he saw the first plane hit! So there is something good in everyone, and that is the heartwarning thought I shall carry through the festive season. Thank you.

(Even though I don't think they gave their real names yet.)

6. Only accidentally
But then they quickly call a news conference and deny ever stating the truth in the first place.

8. When resigning- Paul O'Neil? Di-Iulio?
Mind you, Rove cowed them rapidly into recanting. One doesn't simply leave the family....

9. Tom DeLay is about the only one I can think us that comes close
to telling the truth. And that my friend is highly questionable!

10. I remember this one fellow on NPR...
OK, I forgot his name, but he was one of (if not THE) "Senior advisor" to the President for tax and economic reform.

Anyway, on the "Liberally Biased" NPR (if ONLY!), this fellow was allowed to say, unchallanged, that the goal of the administration was to bring America back to before the days of the "Great Society" back to the 1880's when the Federal Gov't did little "to interfere" with business.

My mouth dropped open, and there was no audible GASP from the moderator, but as far as I was concerned, it was one of the most honest statements from someone in the administration that I've ever heard.

13. When he stated the war on terror couldn't be won.
Karl must have been crapping his pants when the Dim-son said that!
