Yes, this article [from truthdig - here] is more than tongue-in-cheek and sarcastic, but it belies a truth about George Bush and his cohorts in the Republican Party which is hard to either fathom, let alone understand, from these distant shores.
It is almost impossible to understand how Bush and his fellow-travellers can even think they have any credibility. Or that anyone even believes anything they say! But then again do the people out there care?
As we are seeing here in Australia as the AWB saga unfolds, the Government just blusters and seemingly lies its way through what are serious allegation levelled against at least one department, DFAT. But then again listening to Lord Downer of Baghdad - who increasingly uses the expression "to be honest" when answering questions [does that mean everything else isn't honest] - is to see what an odd slant on the truth and the facts the man has.
Perhaps more troubling about the lying and chicanery, as in the USA, is the question of whether the general populace cares? Only time will tell......
