perfidy

Kevin Drum deconstructs the various strains of truth-flexing the President has indulged in. While it's easy to shout "Liar!" at the top of your lungs, it's another thing entirely to level a nuanced accusation, which Drum does with aplomb. I would prefer if he set aside the "16 words" thingy in favor of the Clean Air Act and the de-funding of Americorps, because I think those are stronger cases than the by now well-gnawed bones of UraniumGate, but his initial point stands.

I'm already on the "anybody but Bush" bandwagon... the only problem is choosing among so many mediocrities and slightly terrifying standouts (I'm talking to YOU, Howard Dean and Wesley Clark).
