It's true. Libs have strange ideas about what is or isn't the truth. Very selective. they even admire liberals who are good at it. The old reprobate Clinton for example. The media even said when Clinton lied, which was often, it was a good thing because he was doing to spare people from inconvenient truths.

Pretty screwed up huh?

Where is the lie in using a pen name. Denying the pen name would be a lie.

You apparently just don't get it.

Mark Twain used to say that he was a better man than George Washington, because Washington could not tell a lie, but Twain could, and wouldn't.

I think everyone knew ten years after Twain was first published that Mark Twain (which means Two Fathoms of water) was a pen name.

Mississippi riverboats had a very shallow draft, because the depth of the river varies quite a bit. I was surprised that the riverboats on the Uruguay and Paraná Rivers in South America were not flat bottomed, even though these rivers (which are wider than the Mississippi where I was, are also somewhat shallow. Not as many snags, though.

Some Amazon riverboats are more like Mississippi steamers.

It was Plane that thought you might think it a lie , not I. That doesnt change the fact that not all completely accurate statements are lies. You sure as hell have been giving the Bushidiot credit for being stupid instead of a liar when he said there were WMD's there and ties to AlQaieda when there were none  when we attacked Iraq.
I think it is you who doesnt get it and in a much more destructive way.

Samuel Clemons business was crafting fiction for sale , tall tales are just good fun if everyone involved knows the diffrenceand doesn't expect facts.

Duplicity , intent to deceive , defraud , manipulate or mislead is diffrent in the basis of intent.

So in which direction does "equivocate" point? Is it a white lie intended to harmlessly prevent embarrasment?

Or is it a mark of shame that the shame cannot be acnoledged ?

Quitting smokeing,a tough process that takes months to accomplish , I wouldn't quit while I was also trying to get elected, but it isn't cool to smoke anymore , BHO is probly embarrased by it.

Good analysis. Plane. None of the above indicates that Big O is a liar , but rather a human. I will appreciatet a real human for a Pres for a change.

He doesnt deserve it . He lied us into war and destroyed the economy at the same time. No small feat I must admit.

Give Obama time.

He already has the lying part down pat.

Let's see where that leads.
