12/17/08: TWD's Agenda For The Day: The Continuing Lies

Denial, denial, denial, from this administration. It is what they do.

First, here's Bush for the 10th millionth time, not taking any responsibility for Iraq.

In his latest exit interview, President Bush continued to shirk any responsibility for the problems in Iraq or for the severe economic recession. When CNN’s Candy Crowley asked whether the problem with pre-war intelligence was “a matter of interpretation” or “a matter of just bum information,” Bush admitted “it was just bad analysis” — done by others, not himself. In fact, he lamented the bad intelligence not because it led to a misguided war but because it made it harder for his administration to promote the war:

It gets better. In that same interview, with Crowley not even daring to challenge him, guess who he blames for the whole economic downturn.

Deregulation proponents like himself? Big CEO's on Wall Street doing the same shady deals that they usually do, and not doing a damn thing to stop it after being forewarned of this a numerous amount of times? Tax breaks for his fellow affluent masses?

Nope. Just those greedy, "Know full well they didn't have the money to buy it", home owners:


The denial continues with Cheney. Does he regret anything he has done? Nope.

KARL: Regrets?

CHENEY: Oh, not a lot at this stage. I think I'll have a chance to reflect on that after I get out of here and see whether to – anything immediately comes to mind. I think given the circumstances we've had to deal with, I think we've done pretty well.

Yes, pretty well at helping only your fellow corrupt friends. None doubt about that. You have certainly done a hell of a job there.

Now, the art of denial from the pathetic Rice.

In an AP interview yesterday, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice spoke highly of U.S. reconstruction efforts in Iraq, stating, “We’ve done a lot of work to get these [reconstruction] structures right, and I think they finally are” — a day after a scathing government report detailed massive waste and poor planning in U.S. reconstruction efforts. When asked about the abuse, Rice claimed that U.S. dollars have emerged unscathed

When you can lie this good, nothing can touch your conscious at all.

Finally, to top it all off, for these next few hours only though, take a look at this hilarious lie. It was a darn good one to Elisabeth Hasselback, who originally didn't get an invite to the Bush's "Christmas Party".

During yesterday’s live taping of The View, conservative co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck whined that she hadn’t received an invitation to the White House Christmas party. “Maybe I didn’t do enough for the Republican party this year,” she said. “I love Christmas cards I love getting them. … No invitation this year.” Soon after the show ended, the White House called to apologize and issued her an invitation:

Then again, maybe I couldn't blame them for lying on that one. Or actually, not even noticing they did just that.

The agenda's Pending Schedule will be in the comments section in a little while. Peace.
