[Overpaid Slacker]

I've got pages of simliar statements by those on the Left side of the Aisle, as well as by foreign leaders and their representatives and mouthpieces. It won't matter. Prove it to 'em and they still won't believe it. Crap, Operation Iraqi Freedom is still "unilateral" action to the Angry Left (who, though they profess to care so much about not hurting others' feelings or self esteem, cavalierly discard the efforts and sacrifices of our allies to make a crass, false political point).

That, and the newly redefined term "lie", which from the dawn of the English language up until very very recently required deliberate deceit with knowledge that what you were saying was untrue.

Granted, "lie" was tortured to mean whatever defenders of perjurers wanted it to mean for eight years of the Interregnum, but it's proven a resilient little word. It still requires deliberate untruth expressed as fact; this is why we have a different word for "mistake."
