Lying Liars and the...

As this post and this post by Atrios, and countless more by countless other pundits, professional and otherwise, attest, President Bush feels comfortable to lie about anything and everything. Chalabi? I never really even talked to the guy. The French? We're best buds, always have been, and it's slander to say otherwise.

It's hard to imagine that someone could lie like this out of anything other than cynicism and arrogance. Only someone who thinks that Americans are chumps can lie about publically available facts, and such recent events. If I had Charles Krauthammer's psychological training and necrotic mien, I might even call it pathological.
