“Politicians will stretch the truth. They’ll exaggerate their accomplishments, paper over their gaffes. Spin has long been the lingua franca of the political realm. But George W. Bush and his administration have taken ‘normal’ mendacity to a startling new level far beyond lies of convenience. On top of the usual massaging of public perception, they traffic in big lies, indulge in any number of symptomatic small lies, and, ultimately, have come to embody dishonesty itself. They are a lie. And people, finally, have started catching on. “

A great laugh about the hypocrisy of the republicans.

Bloomberg News reports “Halliburton Co., the biggest U.S. contractor in Iraq, has lost $18.6 million of government property in Iraq.

I see the dust cloud rising over the horizon. The Bush Administration is now beginning to blow the war bugle over Iran. Now why would they suddenly start kicking up a ruckus right about now?

I am disturbed that the Kerry campaign is going out of their way to try to look as conservative as possible. Somehow, we allowed the word liberal to become a bad word.

The Bush Administration continues to spread obvious lies and smears to distract attention form their shortcomings, including being asleep at the wheel on September 11.
