Hard to believe people are still claiming Bush doesn't lie. I doubt any President has lied more...

"I don't believe anyone that I know in the administration ever said that Iraq had nuclear weapons."
—Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, at a hearing of the Senate's appropriations subcommittee on defense, May 14, 2003

"We believe he has, in fact, reconstituted nuclear weapons."
—Vice President Dick Cheney on NBC's Meet the Press, March 16, 2003

Bush mostly lets others around him do his lying. He's already lost one spokesman (Arie Fleischer) who was caught in too many lies -- like the "imminent threat" lie:

Fleischer's "ability to repeat a lie even after it's been shown, repeatedly, to be false is what separates him from the amateurs." --Timothy Noah, Slate

So GWB gets his employees and partners to do most of the lying for him, does that make him less of a liar?
"I did not have sex with that woman....Ms Lewinsky."
Guess you're wrong again Jimbo.
