Screwed Again Harry

George Bush has a tendency toward mendacity.

I've already heard a few just this morning saying it would be the right thing for the president to do. Watch for it.

You've got to wonder just how many times the Democrats have to get punked by Republicans before they get it. Punching bag doesn't even get to how guilible they are.
