WaPo: An Easy Call: Lying

Is this the first time a major US paper has come right out and called Bush a Liar?

By Eugene Robinson
Friday, May 12, 2006; Page A21

At least now we know that the Bush administration's name for spying on Americans without first seeking court approval -- the "terrorist surveillance program" -- isn't an exercise in Orwellian doublespeak after all. It's just a bald-faced lie.

1. "without first seeking court approval....."

The damn FISA law allows Bush to first spy and then get a warrant and he is not even doing that. Why can't the damn media say this??????

2. Finally. Finally. Expect the next poll numbers to be extremely chilly.

I'm guessing 26-27.

That's what you get for playing the right-wing end against the middle.

Jr. should have done like his smarter daddy: rip off America as well as you can for four years, and then run like hell.

6. Bingo!

"Shame on us, in being so far behind and so willing to rubber-stamp anything this administration does," said Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.). He was referring to the Senate, but he could have been speaking for the entire nation."
