There is some debate about whether Pres. Geo. W. Bush lies or is just uninformed. After some consideration, I would respectfully submit this opinion: he lies. A lot. Misinformed? Ignorant? Disengaged? I'm sure arguments could be made for all of these, but it seems to me he has spent the majority of his public life lying, cheating, and stealing. Let me delve a little into his liarly character.

David Corn has written a whole book on the subject The Lies of George W. Bush. (2003, but a revised paperback edition is out.)

Over on the Center for American Progress site, they have a nice compilation of stories from 2004 and earlier. They also have a searchable database of lies that's not as impressive.

An interesting story from a New Zealand source in 2003 attempts to quantify and describe the various tactics Bush uses to lie. It names the techniques and has lots of examples.

Damn, I thought I could stomach writing about this. I can't. I'd call him a weaselly liar but I hesitate to insult weasels. I actually think it would be easier to parse out the truth from his utterances than to attempt to list his lies which are myriad. You're on your own now.
