Did President Bush Lie?
Susan Estrich has really lost it. Either that or she is really believes the American people are stupid. Like we will not see the difference between telling the press a lie and telling a grand jury a lie. Look how she tries to equate the two. Compare the first part in which the President Bush said about Donald Rumsfeld:
Since when is it OK for a president to lie to reporters?
Wasn’t it just last week that the president told reporters that both Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney were staying on their jobs for the next two years?
To what President Clinton said about Monica Lewinsky:
I recall another president who mislead people about his sex life, and my conservative friends went ballistic.
Is it somehow worse to lie about your sex life than about who is going to be defense secretary? Or are we all just so used to presidents lying to us that we accept it without blinking?
Huh? Somehow and for some reason, lying to a federal grand jury is against the law Mrs. Estrich. Imagine that. And I thought you had a law degree?
But that is not what takes the cake in her article on FoxNews.com.
Corruption was the second reason, after the Iraq war, for the Republicans’ loss. But corruption doesn’t just mean taking money or coming on to young boys. It means not having any credibility because you don’t tell the truth. About things that matter. It means losing the confidence of the people who elected you. Which the Republicans have done.
Corruption? Do the names Democratic Congressman William ‘Cold Cash’ Jefferson, Senate Minority Leader Harry ‘Free Boxing’ Reid, Ted (one for the road) Kennedy, Maxine ‘family saving plan’ Waters, Patrick (another one for the road) Kennedy, and Cynthia (radical racist) McKinney come to mind. These are corrupt politicians who have gotten away with so much because they were Democrats. The Republican Party does not have a lock on corruption, there is plenty in the Democratic Party as well.
Equating what George Bush said about Rumsfeld to reporters and what Bill Clinton said to a grand jury is extremely misleading. Telling a misleading fact is the same as lying. Such a comment should hurt Mrs. Estrich’s credibility (if she had any).
If the president couldn’t get his agenda through when his own party controlled the House and the Senate, does anyone honestly expect that he will accomplish more with both houses narrowly in the control of the other party, while the president is the lamest of ducks, his popularity in the toilet, not to mention the fact that every other senator (and even the occasional House member) is now running for president?
Another extremely misleading fact. The President could not pass any meaningful legislation because of Democratic filibusters. The Democrats have been obstructionists ever since the President won in 2000. And now Mrs. Estrich will try to pin the lack of action on the President. Open your eyes, Susan.
Remember ANWR, Susan? Your total lack of objectivity and reason has made your credibility very suspect. In fact, I would even go as far as to say you lied. Credibility is one thing the Democrats do NOT have.
