I think anyone with half a brain stem and a functioning logic lobe knows that our Chimperor is a big, fat liar. However, it somehow manages to boggle my mind that he would actually come right out and admit it. At the recent presidential press conference, though, he did just that.
When asked why, only last week, he’d claimed that Rumsfeld would not be resigning, Bush answered:
Right. No, you and Hunt and Keil came in the Oval Office, and Hunt asked me the question one week before the campaign, and basically it was, are you going to do something about Rumsfeld and the Vice President? And my answer was, they’re going to stay on. And the reason why is I didn’t want to inject a major decision about this war in the final days of a campaign. And so the only way to answer that question and to get you on to another question was to give you that answer.
That’s right, folks. He just makes up shit when he wants people to get off his back or if he thinks it will negatively affect people’s opinions of his political party. Ironically, he later stated that he thought voters had elected Democrats because “People want their Congress — congressmen to be honest and ethical.” Gee, d’ya think? Also, he repeated an earlier assertion that “stay the course” does not, in fact, mean “stay the course.” Apparently, those three words mean something entirely different in Bush’s Bizarro World.
