Liar of the Millennium: O.J. Bush
Let's keep the facts--as we know them now--firmly in mind. President Bush "declassified" information selectively not so he could share it with "the American people," but so it could be given to New York Times reporter Judy Miller, a virtual stenographer who was friendly to the Administration. She would then use it to discredit the charges of Joe Wilson. Bush would be re-elected. All would be bliss.
Nixon meant the opposite of what he said. With Bush, words mean nothing. They're just....words. He's not against telling the truth, it's just that the truth doesn't matter. Only his cause matters. And because his cause is noble, because his enemies are satanic traitors, the lies are of no consequence.
Think of him as O.J. Simpson. Remember the reward O.J. offered? He really wanted to find the real killer. Well, like O.J., the President has been searching in vain for the real leaker within his administration--who turns out to be someone he sees in the mirror each morning.
Crazy, yes.. So who will be indicted? Oddly, no one probably will tumble for this. But still, the chronology is kind of fun.
President Bush, 9/30/03:
"I don't know of anybody in my administration who leaked classified information. If somebody did leak classified information, I'd like to know it, and we'll take the appropriate action."
President Bush, 9/30/03:
"If there is a leak out of my administration, I want to know who it is. And if the person has violated law, the person will be taken care of. . . . I have told our administration, people in my administration to be fully cooperative. I want to know the truth. If anybody has got any information inside our administration or outside our administration, it would be helpful if they came forward with the information so we can find out whether or not these allegations are true and get on about the business."
President Bush, 10/28/03:
"I'd like to know if somebody in my White House did leak sensitive information."
President Bush, 6/10/04:
Reporter: "Do you stand by your pledge to fire anyone found to have done so?"
President Bush: "Yes. And that's up to the U.S. Attorney to find the facts."
President Bush, 10/28/03:
"I want to know the truth. ... I have no idea whether we'll find out who the leaker is, partially because, in all due respect to your profession, you do a very good job of protecting the leakers."
President Bush, 7/18/05 issue of USA Today: "If someone committed crime, they will no longer work in my administration."
White House Press Secretary, 9/29/03:
"The President has set high standards, the highest of standards for people in his administration. He's made it very clear to people in his administration that he expects them to adhere to the highest standards of conduct. If anyone in this administration was involved in it, they would no longer be in this administration."
White House Press Secretary, 10/7/03:
"Let me answer what the President has said. I speak for the President and I'll talk to you about what he wants . . .If someone leaked classified information, the President wants to know. If someone in this administration leaked classified information, they will no longer be a part of this administration, because that's not the way this White House operates, that's not the way this President expects people in his administration to conduct their business."
