Comments on: Lying Politicians: A Conundrum for the Washington Post http://jimbovard.com/blog/2006/11/10/lying-politicians-a-conundrum-for-the-washington-post/ Author James Bovard Thu, 17 May 2012 04:20:13 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Tom Blanton http://jimbovard.com/blog/2006/11/10/lying-politicians-a-conundrum-for-the-washington-post/#comment-7643 Tom Blanton Sun, 12 Nov 2006 05:25:02 +0000 http://jimbovard.com/blog/2006/11/10/lying-politicians-a-conundrum-for-the-washington-post/#comment-7643 I am shocked, shocked. How dare a major newspaper even insinuate the Imperial President "told an untruth" or engaged in some cheap political "dodge"? Why, this amounts to treason when we are at war for the very survival of the western world. Hey, I'm getting pretty good at this neocon fascist rhetoric - maybe I can get a gig as a Clear Channel shock jock. Yo, Brian - don't be dragging my man <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPmkNPkUus8" rel="nofollow">George Clinton</a> into this. I'm hoping he will become President and funkadelicize Washington. I am shocked, shocked.

Yo, Brian - don’t be dragging my man George Clinton into this. I’m hoping he will become President and funkadelicize Washington.

I don't understand why one speckled dress is more worthy of honest analysis than thousands of dead American soldiers.

Sort of like someone in the presence of some elderly person who loudly broke wind - the journalists squirm and hope no one notices. ... I will pen out some thoughts on the 'Blue Team' shortly...

They also still have these same old farts on the cable shows yapping about the GOP. Like them or not, I'd like to see some of the new leadership in the press being interviewed, etc.... Hope you are well, JB. They really didnt seem to want to do much with this story, did they? They also still have these same old farts on the cable shows yapping about the GOP.
