The Bush cabal's mega-mendacity

The whole world knows that BushWorld is LieWorld.

Now we've got the numbers.

Last Tuesday two nonprofits, the Center for Public Integrity and the Fund for Independence in Journalism, released the results of their study that showed Bush and Co. put out a ton of false statements about the national security threat from Iraq in the two years following the 2001 terrorist attacks.

Some of those numbers:

935 false statements in two years from Team Bush, including 532 statements that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction or was trying to produce or obtain them or had links to al-Qaida or both.

Bush himself: 259 false statements, 231 about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and 28 about Iraq's links to al-Qaida

Colin Powell: 244 false statements about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and 10 about Iraq and al-Qaida.

Other stars of the show: Vice President Dick Cheney, national security adviser Condoleezza Rice, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz and White House press secretaries Ari Fleischer and Scott McClellan.

And the media just ate it all up.
