Perino: Bush doesn’t and didn’t lie
Source: Austin American-Statesman

White House Press Secretary Dana Perino today unequivocally denied that President Bush knowingly lied about his staffers’ involvement in the leak of former CIA Agent Valerie Plame Wilson’s identity.

The topic came up again today in the wake of a publishers’ recent release of an excerpt from former Press Secretary Scott McClellan’s upcoming book. See below.

“I know that this president has not and would not knowingly ask anyone to pass on false information,” Perino said, adding she spoke with Bush about the specific incident in question.

Despite the explosive allegation in the excerpt, McClellan - who’s not commenting now - previously has said he believes Bush was lied to by top aides who had leaked Wilson’s identity. McClellan never has said Bush intentionally passed along information he knew was false.

3. I know I would not drink too much red wine on any given evening
I would not tell anyone that I would - that would be false information.

I would never knowingly drink too much red wine.

16. Man from Crete: "All Cretans are Liars"
Edited on Tue Nov-27-07 12:29 AM by rwenos
So the man from Crete assures us "all Cretans are liars." Does this mean that everyone from Crete is a liar? Or that the Cretan man who tells us that all Cretans are liars, is himself a liar.

Obviously, this spokesmodel has not thought through her statements that no Bush statements are lies. How are we to know whether she is not, herself, a liar?"

I LOVE logic. ALMOST as much as reality -- thus making me a member of the "reality-based community." A community which sadly does not include Ms. Perino.

doom of which bushco has led us DIRECTLY to the brink.

36. So when did he know?
What did he know and when did he know it?

Heres what she has revealed.... he knew. He knew something before Snotty McClellans blurb came out.
What did he know, and when did he know it?

He hasn't levelled with the American people. To not level with the People (who are point of fact, his employer) is an offense.

20. An important job prerequisite for a Bush Crime Family
press secretary is the ability to lie nonstop and without any qualms. Perino is a natural.

24. So that means that the president was lied to..
... and he SAID that anyone involved would be dealt with.

That was a lie, because he didn't deal with anyone.

The president is a liar. Ms. Gullible might not believe it, but I've heard him lie on national TV many times. He's a liar.

34. If he never knowingly lied, but was instead lied to
why did he not hold those people accountable? The chimperor has also gone through quite a few press secretaries, because sooner or later they lose their ability to not "know." Course, Perino might take longer...

27. Why does Dana Perino make it so easy to depict him as a liar?
White House Press Secretary Dana Perino today unequivocally denied that President Bush knowingly lied


OK, he doesn't talk about Iraq in this case, but nevertheless:

30. Some of the responders here are giving Dana reason to believe she doesn't know
I wouldn't trust her! She intentionally and knowingly lies for Bush.

She needs an unforgettable life threatening experience. Like maybe waterboarding? But she would say that waterboarding is not torture.

32. Not only does he lie, sadly, he believes his lies.
If she were to say, Yeah, he lies, she'd be unemployed. At least until her book came out.

35. Or so she claims until her post-bush era book.
Then she'll allude to the truth just before its release to pump up sales.

Such nonsense. That anyone, anywhere could believe this now is stunning.
