PANTS ON FIRE!

The media treated this candidate with kid gloves. The word was out. This was a sure thing. This was where the power was. Get on and hang on or get left out and hung up.

But, oh! What lovely stories had to be buried. Imagine! This candidate was a deserter from the National Guard -- the safe haven his daddy had bought for him to avoid going to war.

Then there were all his wild escapades throughout college and far far beyond -- even unto paying at least one girl that he got pregnant to get an abortion.

All that delicious gravy had to be dumped because the campaign declared that the reporters could ask no questions about the candidate on anything that happened before he found Jesus.

And the media bowed and said, "Yes Sir. Anything else, Sir?"

Then came the biggest lie of all as Florida was given to the candidate by his brother, the Florida Secretary of State and the US Supreme Court. This resulted in the candidate moving into the White House even though the majority of voters voted for the other guy.

And that big lie begat a whole string of lies that begat a depressed economy that begat tax money given to the richest Americans that begat campaign funds to reelect the liar, that begat 9/11 and World War 4.

The liar proceeded to lie to the whole world by reneging on treaties and pissing off most of our former friends. He ignored all the warnings given him by his own and other country's security.

And that colossal arrogance and ignorance invited 9/11, which was used to install the Patriot Act on a mostly trusting American public. Invasion of two countries was initiated complete with a plethora of flags, persecution of patriots who spoke up, and enough lies to nearly match the number of people killed in the wars.

Finally, the lies reached a critical mass. Slowly but surely, many Americans are feeling and expressing their outrage. Ben of Ben and Jerry's has a website worth visiting where you can see the statue of the liar with his pants on fire that is traveling around the country.

"Liar, liar, pants on fire, hanging from a telephone wire." http://www.pantsonfire.net/

There are two best selling books out:

Big Lies: The Right-Wing Propaganda Machine and How It Distorts the Truth -- by Joe Conason

Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right -- by Al Franken

And some principled reporters are speaking out like CNN's Christiane Amanpour. http://www.nypost.com/entertainment/5866.htm

In the spirit of the liar's administration to condemn Americans for speaking out and speaking up, her comments got her the following accusation of treason from Fox:

A Fox News spokeswoman said: "It's better to be viewed as a foot soldier for Bush than spokeswoman for al-Qaeda."

Along with all the other lies and secrets about 9/11 comes another whopper as the liar had a movie made that shows him as a brave and fearless leader, coolly facing the assault of the terrorists.

Most of us remember his scared rabbit look when told that a plane had hit the WTC, and his hectic rush to run away across the country from his duty.

The only truth in the movie is the liar-in-chief crapping on all the truly brave heroes of 9/11 with still another colossal lie.
