How do you know when a liar is telling the truth...?

answer: you don't... media matters puts the deception of the bush presidency in historical context...
It wasn't long ago that some of America's leading news organizations thought that a president's deception was cause for resignation. The Chicago Tribune, for example, called for Bill Clinton's resignation in a September 15, 1998, editorial. One reason the Tribune gave was that Clinton's statements about the Monica Lewinsky matter would make it difficult to trust him in the future: "Who will know when he's telling the truth and when he's not, whether he's being sincere or play-acting, whether his word is his bond or just another artful dodge?"

That's a question news organizations should start asking again: "Who will know when he's telling the truth and when he's not?"

i have never trusted one single thing that's come out of that guy's mouth, not from day one... his speech, his facial expressions, his tone of voice and his body language just shriek "liar..."
