How to tell if someone's lying

[JohnnyRingo]

If they start a sentence with:

I appreciate your question....
We're making progress on...
We need comprehensive....
We're cooperating with....
Because of concerns with national security....

Everything that follows will be a lie.
In fact, I now assume "comprehensive" means "do nothing"

Anyone have any to add?

[Mz Pip]

1. We're working hard...

[dailykoff]

2. I never pay attention to polls...

[rman]

3. "reform"

They love reform.

It has become to mean "screw the people some more".

[havocmom]

4. They have a job in the bush malAdministration (n/t)

[Glenda]

5. More specifically...

"I appreciate your question, Helen..."
"WIth all due respect, Helen..."

[MADem]

10. Naaaaaaoooow, heh heheh, LET ME FINISH, let ME finISH!!!!

That means "Shut the fuck up, so I can hear what Karl is feeding me in this damn earpiece!!!"

[Glenda]

I'd like to hear Bush before his term is out, say "shut the fuck up" on live tv

6. The classic "Some people are saying..."

followed by whatever line of horseshit they want people to believe.

[Broadslidin]

8. "Your doing a Good Job ________.....!"

:yoiks:

9. "So and so is resigning to spend more time with his family".

Also another one that I always find as a lie is.....

"The President believes.........."

[JohnnyRingo]

31. Yep...those are classics

Anything that follows that lead-in will be a lie.
I knew there were more

17. How about....?

....when anyone says "nukular?"

[Bluerthanblue]

19. "... errh, he....he.... make no mistake about this....."

with a pointing finger raised for emphasis- and a thin lipped smile. also smiling when it is least appropriate-

20. If they're a neo-CON/RepubliCON & their lips are moving... they're LYING.

21. That's corporate language. It's not really lies just "verbiage"

According to the Wall Street, there are no lies just bad sales pitches.

[Kerri_S]

22. If their names are

George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Condoleezza Rice, or Scott McClellan, and their lips are moving, they're invariably lying about *something*.

[johnnie]

23. Usually it starts something like this

"Thank you very much. Mr. Speaker, Vice President Cheney, members of Congress, distinguished guests, fellow citizens:...."

[kiki]

24. "No one could have anticipated..."

Means "We've known about this for a while".

[madokie]

25. That's a good question, and it needed to be asked

[TexanDem]

26. My favorite "The American people have to understand..."

Vietnam Warish.....

[Maine-ah]

28. LOL

Anyone remember Claude Pepper's speech after the dismissal of impeachment proceedings against Bill Clinton?
