Liar In Chief
Well, there has been a bunch of hub-bub about the newest GOP talking point: "we don"t know nuthin" about the birth of no baby"s"* aka that they never said "stay the course". Anyone who has been paying any kind of attention for the last several years knows that they are lying through their teeth.

What I find interesting is this. The lies coming out of this administration are so brazen and so patently obvious that you"ve got to wonder why they do it.

The answer is simple. They don"t think most voters pay close enough attention to actually notice. And they may be right. This is how the media has so completely let our democracy down. If journalists would spend more time revealing the truth rather than trying to walk down the middle line, the lying would get obvious even to the 20 min. news watcher. And in that instance, politicans would simply have to stop lying. Until then, expect more brazen lies to continue to be the norm, not the exception. Or, put another way, expect Bush to "stay the course" with his lying.
