Bush Wins Mendacity Award

The World Association of Liars awarded George Bush its "All-Time Mendacity Award" yesterday, after watching his palavering about off-shore oil drilling.  Just as dubbya did on Monday, when he [thought he] oh-so cagily outmaneuvered the Democrats in Congress by lifting Daddy Bush's executive order banning off-shore oil drilling, Bush spoke at his Tuesday press conference about how much better shape we'd be in if only we had enacted his [Dick's] energy policy seven years ago.  Gosh, if we had just lifted that darn ban back then, we'd all be up to our butts in oil right now.

The smart readers of this blog don't believe that bullshit.  [Well, I can think of a couple who might.] But most of us know better than to swallow when Bush has been spraying his [nonsense] across the airwaves.

Ask the American people to cut back instead of looking for an easy fix to the problem?  Never.  Not gonna happen.
