Bush LIED!!! He LIED!!!

[mburbank]

I'm sorry, Preech, I find your response VERY sheepish. It alll boils town to "But they said it's true, why would they lie?"

And I agree with Kev. I dislike Bush intensely. I think he is a very bad president. I think calling him on every lie and badgering him relentlessly makes it a litlle harder for him to do the next awful thing he's got up his sleave. I think if he isn't held as accountable as possible you widen the already large credulity gap, and eventually end up with a commander in chief who need say nothing more than 'because I say so' to justify any action at all.

And my heart bleeds if all this media scurtiny is tough and distractifying on ol' W. It comes with the territory, as Clinton found out when he was stupid enough to lie about a blowjob.

The right is very comfortable with absolutely brutal no holds barred politics as long as they're the only ones engaged in it. At least the left's version of 'he said she said' has to do with lives and preventing the president from excercising unlimmited power.

I'll side with ANY politician who comes out strongly and credibly in favor of checks and balances.
