How Do We Even Keep Up With This Crap?

We've been overwhelmed in recent days by the flood of new evidence about the mendacity of El Presidente and his handlers. Mendaciousness, incidentally, is a Latinate way of avoiding certain less pleasant labels about people who habitually lie, so let me give it to you in straight Anglo-Saxon: These people running this country are goddamn liars.

To wit, from this a.m.'s NYTimes: "As recently as January 2004, a top Defense Department official misrepresented to Congress the view of American intelligence agencies about the relationship between Iraq and Al Qaeda .... Douglas J. Feith, the under secretary of defense for policy, not only asserted that there were ties between the Baghdad government and the terrorist network, but also did not reflect accurately the intelligence agencies' assessment -- even while claiming that [he] did."

The "continuing deception of Congress" by Mr. Feith, Don Rumsfeld's top assistant at the Pentagon, is part & parcel of the continuing deception of the good people of the United States, who dedicated their lives and their fortunes to prosecuting a war, the causes for which they were lied to about from the beginning and consistently.

Since no heads have rolled in this administration for ineptness, colossal blunders, and deliberate untruths, we trust the head war-head in the White House will roll in now a little over a week.

We thought we were fed up about as far as a body could be fed up, oh, since approximately January 1st, but every day now we have to stuff a little more rancid food-for-fury down that hole. When is enough enough?
