Bush administration raises hypocrisy to an art form.

We're told that we must wait for an investigator's report to know if anyone in the White House broke the law by leaking a covert CIA operative's name to the press - even though the public already knows the operative's name and the two senior administration officials who did it.

We're told not to question the character of the man who assured us that anyone found to be involved in the matter would no longer be part of the administration - yet has fired no one.

We're told that associations with known sleazeballs such as alleged shakedown artist Jack Abramoff aren't really suspicious unless, presumably, videotapes of illicit cash being stuffed into politicians' jacket pockets are uncovered. We're told the deliberate concealment from Congress of the true cost of the Medicare bill was just harmless politics as usual.

We're told that intentional efforts to manipulate public opinion with undisclosed payments to talk-show hosts, a White House-planted phony reporter (who ran a gay escort service on the side) and actors posing as genuine TV news reporters in what amounted to taxpayer-supported propaganda pieces - deeds the General Accountability Office has called out-and-out illegal - was just a little enthusiastic advocacy.

We're told that hiring incompetent cronies to run an agency charged with preparing for and responding to disasters - well, no one has tried to defend that one, though the usual suspects have tried mightily to shift the blame.

We're told that there's nothing odd about the president nominating yet another close crony - his own counsel - to the Supreme Court, and then calling her the most qualified candidate for the position.

We're told that profoundly misleading statements by leaders we implicitly trust and that caused Congress and the nation to support the invasion of another country, shouldn't be considered lies because, well, they haven't admitted they were lies.

This gang was morally outraged that Clinton got blown and then lied to his wife and the American people about it. And they were right to feel that what he did was wrong. It was. But nothing that Clinton did, or was accused of doing, is anywhere near the criminal and unethical behavior that is running rampant in this administraton.
Lies to start a war.
Committing treason to punish those that called you on those lies.
Lying about what the Generals are telling you they need to win the war.
Lying about the record of your presidential opponent.
Lying about lying about your presidential opponents record.
Lying about outing the CIA agent.
Lying about who is at fault for the poor response to a national disaster.
Lying about how your Supreme Court nominee might vote on Roe vs. Wade, when we all know that you know.
Undoubtably there are more lies to come. We unfortunately still have three years to go in this administration. That is unless we impeach his ass!
