Okay, honest words escape the current White House about as often as prisoners from Alcatraz (and tend to suffer a similar fate in general under this administration). But I was still a bit surprised to read this story. Yes, Laura Bush lied about George writing that awful poem. Which means that Dubya, by all rights, should sue his wife for slander. I'd sure as hell be pissed if someone attributed it to me.

That depends on your definition of "wrote" ;)

How hard up is this woman that she has to LIE that her husband wrote a shitty poem for her?

The mind boggles!

Roses are Red
Violets are Blue
He didn't write that,
Perhaps he should sue


Even the supposedly endearing anecdotes are lies!

"I'd sure as hell be pissed if someone attributed it to me."

Georgie probably knows it's still worlds better than any monosyllabic vocabulary-deprived drivel he'll ever scribble in crayon before eating them and drooling all over the kitchen floor...

Well, of course, he didn't really write the poem. But a lot of people really believed that he did.

Which makes it OK, right?

Can I lie on my taxes, if I convince enough people to believe my lie?

Does this make George's lie about Iraq ok? Because, after all, LOTS of people really believed they were true.
