The Incredible Lying BushCo
This just in: More irrefutable proof that Dubya's is the slimiest administration in 100 years
By Mark Morford, SF Gate Columnist
Friday, October 31, 2003

Like you even needed more proof.

Like you even need to read about the incredible and ever-increasing list of lies and misinfo and deeply, colon-clenchingly humiliating wrongness shot forth from the mouth of the GOP machine, a truly jaw-dropping assortment of falsehoods and fabrications about war, and war, and war. Oh, and the economy. And the environment. And war.

Look. There is no doubt left. Zero. None. Even many high-ranking Republicans are deeply worried over the increasingly embittered national timbre regarding BushCo's lies, as reflected in his ever-slipping ratings and declining reelectability quotient and his smug little smirky emptiness.

<snip>
OK, I'll spell it out: George W. Bush and his entire senior administration lied, and continue to lie, flagrantly, openly, knowingly, with full intent, about the need to drive this nation into a brutal and unwinnable and fiscally debilitating war, one that protects no one and inhibits no terrorism and defends nothing but BushCo's own petrochemical cronies and political stratagems.

This much is obvious. This much is painfully, crushingly sad. And this much we must purge like so much clotted gunk from the collective social artery one year from now. Otherwise, we should just turn in our stained and bloody Superpower badge, and resign ourselves to our fate. <snip>

6. Morford one of my favorites if not the most favorite

he can write the longest sentence I have ever seen in a column. Sometimes the entire paragraph is but one whole , big long sentence--I think that here though, he is avoiding the Israel connection, Sharon, our ally, definately had an interest in seeing to it that Saddam was out o there.

9. Many in the media, and even here at DU, prefer to downplay or

ignore the PNAC/Sharon/Israel/Bush connection. Interesting, in that nothing, perhaps besides oil, has a greater impact on our foreign policy, yet some are scared to talk about it, for fear of being attacked by rabid pro Israeli ultra-nationalists.

Be that as it may, I post about these connections here at DU, day in, and day out, because the truth needs to be told.
