House Appropriations Committee Chairman Dave Obey (D-WI) told reporters the following:

Obey: I purposely gave several Members of our caucus wrong information so that when it appeared in print I could see who the hell was leaking and who wasn't. (laughter)

Caldwell: Are you serious?

Obey: Yes. And so today I know the names of two Members who will not be invited to further meetings.

2. why didn't Bush think of that...?

though in his case he might have had to tell the truth occasionally, and that could hurt.
