Looking for deceit from the Bush administration is not unlike looking for blades of grass in a field. The latest deceit, covered by lies, which were then exposed amongst much spin and finger-pointing is this:
Inquiry Confirms Top Medicare Official Threatened Actuary Over Cost of Drug Benefits
In this particular scandal Bush administrators lied to Congress (including fellow Republicans) about the costs of Bush's prescription drug bill in order to get it passed.
It's kinda like the war, where President Bush sent a letter to Congress on March 19, 2003 which said that the war was permitted under legislation authorizing force against those who “planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001.”
The Sept. 11th commission, of course, put the lie to that canard. Now the finger-pointing (it was the CIAs fault) and spin (You can't prove the WMDs don't exist) has begun.
Republicans who believe Bush just because he is of their party are a lot like Charlie Brown showing faith in Lucy to hold the ball in place "this time". God bless your faith. I hope you're wearing thick trousers.
