7. TIA, there is red meat all over the place. Bush is a comedians dream
full of funny material

so it is for the Dem Party, he has given the Dems 93283734049485761.008 tons of raw red meat to work with. Its almost as if he wants to return to Texas subconciously.

4. Hey! That means Bush lied.
"Show me a liar and I'll show thee a thief." -- George Herbert

Tim the Turd Russert: "Would you have gone to Vietnam?"

Chimperor Caligupretzel: "Of course."

Actual quote from "Meet the Press" in February 2004:

EXCERPT...

President Bush: I supported my government. I did. And would have gone had my unit been called up, by the way.

Russert: But you didn't volunteer or enlist to go.

President Bush: No, I didn't. You're right. I served. I flew fighters and enjoyed it, and provided a service to our country. In those days we had what was called "air defense command," and it was a part of the air defense command system.

The thing about the Vietnam War that troubles me as I look back was it was a political war. We had politicians making military decisions, and it is lessons that any president must learn, and that is to the set the goal and the objective and allow the military to come up with the plans to achieve that objective. And those are essential lessons to be learned from the Vietnam War.

CONTINUED LYING...

5. Man, is this ever telling....
...from the above link:

Russert: Tom Daschle, the Democratic Leader in the Senate, said that you've changed the tone for the worse; that it's more acrimonious, more confrontations, that you are the most partisan political president he's ever worked with.

Our exit polls of primary voters, not just Democrats but Independents in South Carolina and New Hampshire, more than 70 percent of them said they are angry or dissatisfied with you, and they point to this whole idea of being a uniter as opposed to a divider.

Why do you think you are perceived as such a divider?

President Bush: Gosh, I don't know, because I'm working hard to unite the country. As a matter of fact, it's the hardest part of being the president. I was successful as the governor of Texas for bringing people together for the common good, and I must tell you it's tough here in Washington, and frankly it's the biggest disappointment that I've had so far of coming to Washington.

I'm not blaming anybody. It's just the environment here is such that it is difficult to find common ground. I‘ll give you a classic case: the Medicare bill. The Medicare bill was a tough vote, but the Medicare bill is a bill that a lot of people could have signed on to and had it not been for kind of the sense of, well, ‘Bush might win, we might lose,’ you know, or ‘Bush might lose, we might win’ kind of attitude.

And… but I will continue to work hard to unite the country. I don't speak ill of anybody in the process here. I think if you went back and looked at my comments, you will see I don't attack. I don't hold up people. I talk about what I believe in, and I lead, and maybe perhaps I believe so strongly in what we are doing around the world or doing here at home.



Lies, lies, lies, lies, lies!

9. Correctemundo, whistle! The whole interview is chock-full o' lies.
... I had to get it off the GOOGLE cache, as MSRNC dropped it ASAFP. Here's another "telling" snippet:

EXCERPT...

Russert: But there are lots of madmen in the world, Fidel Castro …

President Bush: True.

Russert: … in Iran, in North Korea, in Burma, and yet we don't go in and take down those governments.

President Bush: Correct, and I could — that's a legitimate question as to why we like felt we needed to use force in Iraq and not in North Korea. And the reason why I felt like we needed to use force in Iraq and not in North Korea, because we had run the diplomatic string in Iraq. As a matter of fact, failed diplomacy could embolden Saddam Hussein in the face of this war we’re in. In Iraq — I mean, in North Korea, excuse me, the diplomacy is just beginning. We’re making good progress in North Korea.

As I've said in my speeches, every situation requires a different response and a different analysis, and so in Iran there is no question they're in danger, but the international community is now trying to convince Iran to get rid of its nuclear weapons program. And on the Korean peninsula, now the United States and China, along with South Korea and Japan and Russia, are sending a clear message to Kim Jung Il, if you are interested in a different relationship, disclose and destroy your program in a transparent way.

In other words, the policy of this administration is to be — is to be clear and straightforward and to be realistic about the different threats that we face.

Russert: On Iraq, the vice president said, “we would be greeted as liberators.”

President Bush: Yeah.

6. This IS big
It's a simple, easy-to-understand lie. Sure, he can say that even though he'd requested to not perform foreign duty he'd surely have gone, but it'll be a very hollow excuse.

Let's get this one out there; make him deploy and explain.

8. Totally agree, POE! Let's associate the terms "Bush" and "Liar"
Knowing the Little Turd from Crawford did all he could to save his pimply hide will give the Freepungelicals something to think about when the talk turns to drafting the nation's young for Bushco's latest war. Just think of the Truth as being their own personal CRM-114 Discriminator.
