Check Her Out

As my regular readers (all 4 of you) know by now, I will occasionally air my grievances over being lied to by President Bush and the crime family known as the Bush Administration. Its the lies that really piss me off, so that's what I write about. Well, after my last rant on the subject, a reader who calls herself The Emperfect left the following comments: "Most Americans also agree that it's just plain wrong to give millionaires a $140,000 annual tax break, or eliminate the estate tax for $52,000 US families at a cost of nearly $1 trillion over ten years, or reward companies that exchange good jobs at home for slave-wage jobs overseas, and at the same time starve education, Medicaid, veterans' health care, and even homeland security.

He lied again when he said that Saddam Hussein had tried to purchase uranium in Niger, Africa. Joseph Wilson , who is a diplomat that was sent to Niger in order to check these allegations, said that Bush was lying.

Bush lied when he told us that Al Queda and Saddam Hussein had "high level" talks. Every government committee that studied 9/11 said there was no credible evidence to support that. But its not just Georgie. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld lied when he went on "This Week with George Stephanopolis" and said h
