92. Nice arguments, for sure.
I think that you've captured the essence of what people mean when they call Bush a liar -- he twists, manipulates, obfuscates. The truth is in there somewhere, but so are the lies.

When we argue with the 30%-ers who still support Bush (or, more likely, don't support him but voted for him and are feeling a tad guilty), they go for the dictionary definition of lying. "Is what he said false? Did he know he was telling a falsehood at that time?" We clearly can show about a dozen or so flat lies from Bush's mouth in which he said something that he knew was wrong.

I'm guessing that your 18-page paper could have been significantly longer if you covered all of his comments.
