“'everything you told me is technically correct,” is the punch line yeah?
I just typed in a search for Bush lies and came up with the following In the Bush administration "the negation of truth is systematic. Dishonest accounting, wilful scientific illiteracy, bowdlerized federal fact sheets, payola paid to putative journalists, 'news' networks run by right-wing apparatchiks, think tanks devoted to propaganda rather than thought, the purging of intelligence gatherers and experts throughout the bureaucracy whose findings might refute the party line -- this is the machinery of mendacity...The point here is not the hypocrisy involved, though that is egregious. The point is the downgrading of truth and honesty from principles with universal meaning to partisan weapons to be sheathed or drawn as necessary. No wonder the Bush administration feels no compunction to honor the truth or seek it; it conceives truth as a tactic, valuable only insofar as it is useful against one's enemies." http://www.bushwatch.com/bushlies.htm On May 23, 8:16 am, Keith In Tampa <[email protected]> wrote: > An, "Oldie But Goodie"!!! > > ============ > > The Republican Fisherman > A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost.
