Of course, Bush & Co. are very skillful liars - they are professionals in every sense of the word. So to enhance your reading pleasure, we have coded each lie as follows:
LIE Lie. An intentional statement of facts that are not true. These are rare in Bushworld, but they do occur with surprising frequency. However, the Republican-controlled media never actually calls them lies, so most Americans never become aware of them.
SHL Second Hand Lie. This technique involves quoting someone else telling a lie, so you can't be blamed for the lie. The classic example is the infamous "16 word lie" from George Bush's 2003 State of the Union: "We have learned from the
British government that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa." In Bushworld, the second-hand source usually gets ITS information from Bush & Co., making it effectively a simple LIE.
EVA Evasion. This technique involves answering a question that is different from the one being asked. Since "EVA" is known to space-watchers as "Extra-Vehicular activity" (space walks), EVA could also be called "Extra-Veracity Activity."
NDD Non-denial denial. This technique involves simply saying "no" without contradicting a single fact. This technique was made famous in the Nixon White House, which is where the modern Republican Party learned its basic dirty tricks.
CON Condescension. This technique involves saying how "sad" or "pathetic" or "desperate" or "shameful" it is that critics keep raising a question, without answering the question. It is a gentler technique than the Pre-emptive Attack.
PEA Pre-emptive Attack. This technique involves calling your critics the most vile names, without citing a single fact to contradict the questions they raise. This technique was perfected by Newt Gingrich's GOPAC, which was the finishing school for Republican liars. After 9-11, it became the Bush administration's official foreign policy. This policy (the "Bush Doctrine") was applied to Iraq, which was invaded "pre-emptively" before they could attack us with their (non-existent) WMD's. Many Democrats suspect this PEA policy will be applied to the 2004 election, which will be cancelled due to some sudden emergency because Bush is losing.
TRU Truth. There isn't much of it, but we'll acknowledge it!
