[quote]Bush, by contrast, “was totally the opposite of Chris Cox,” Tsurumi said. “He showed pathological lying habits and was in denial when challenged on his prejudices and biases. He would even deny saying something he just said 30 seconds ago. He was famous for that. Students jumped on him; I challenged him.” When asked to explain a particular comment, said Tsurumi, Bush would respond, “Oh, I never said that.” A White House spokeswoman did not return a phone call seeking comment.
In 1973, as the oil and energy crisis raged, Tsurumi led a discussion on whether government should assist retirees and other people on fixed incomes with heating costs. Bush, he recalled, “made this ridiculous statement and when I asked him to explain, he said, ‘The government doesn’t have to help poor people – because they are lazy.’ I said, ‘Well, could you explain that assumption?’ Not only could he not explain it, he started backtracking on it, saying, ‘No, I didn’t say that.’” [/quote]
Fits the bill perfectly! And amazingly, nearly half the country chose him to lead.

In his defense, he was all ‘coked up’ at the time.
Of COURSE it’s snide Bush-hate. What’s amazing is that there isn’t more of it. Who in their right mind wouldn’t feel superior to Bush and treat him in a derogatory, malicious fashion, after all this retarded chimp has done?
I don’t think anyone is going to come here and debate that Bush isn’t a liar. There’s nothing about that story that even ranks as “news”. These little circle jerk parties are amusing sometimes, though, carry on.
Who’s the greater idiot? The idiot or the people who make the idiot President… twice?
maybe you can’t trust the Japanese… one who now teaches in … Baruch College.
maybe Bush is right? Maybe poor people are lazy.
Instead, they should have been striving during their “nomadic years” (partying, drifting from job to job, working on political campaigns), before making something of themselves.
The money quote:
[quote]Tsurumi told Bush that someone who avoided a draft while supporting a war in which others were dying was a hypocrite. “He realized he was caught, showed his famous smirk and huffed off.”
Tsurumi’s conclusion: Bush is not as dumb as his detractors allege. “He was just badly brought up, with no discipline, and no compassion,” he said. [/quote]
Bush explicitly stated that he hadn’t been informed about the potential destructiveness of Katrina and the danger to New Orleans prior to the crisis. However, the tape of him being informed of this very thing well before the storm hit land was later made public. There’s one lie that’s undeniable.
