7. Remember when we Googled
"Miserable Failure" we got George Bush? What do we have to do to get his name to come up if we Google "Liar"?

12. Well, he's at number 3 currently
after the "Big Fat Liar" movie site (surely that's been engineered), and Amazon for a book about Wall Street. Then comes The President as Incompetant Liar.

"Miserable Failure" was done by bloggers making sure that phrase appeared on every single page they produced, linked to the White House bio of him. Unfortunately, what we see as DU forums are technically all the same page (everything before the '?' in the URL) so there's little we can do here (and I think Google pays more attention to seperate sites using a phrase rather than loads of pages on the same site, anyway). Unless you control a lot of websites, you've just got to encourage everyone to do the links. An anti-Bush site also gets number 5 for "lies" too - the Amazon page for "Lies and the Lying Liars who Tell Them" is number 3.

10. Has anyone noticed
they've been admitting things lately and nothing's being done about it, and they're getting away with everything...What's going on? If this was Clinton, they'd have the impeachment well under way..WHY are the D's and the R's who aren't elated about bushco doing anything about this? If anyone thinks the election will solve it, I doubt it because they're going to pull another stunt and elections will be history, no more.

4. Someone please refresh my memory-
have they said anything in the past year that they haven't had to backtrack on or take back outright? Have they said anything that hasn't been an outright lie or deception?

6. I believe George correctly states his name.
After that, it's up for grabs.

5. go Waxman!
the NYT makes it look like Frist had an equal hand in holding Bush accountable, but Waxman was the one who blew the whistle.

8. Dr. Ghoul Frist should be his name.
Waxman is such a bulldog!! And he's even more energized since the IWR. He actually admitted he was wrong relying on the WH, and is AFTER BLOOD with this lying administration.

He will try to catch them in every lie, evasion, deception, and in this case, deletion!!

Man, it's nice having a REALLY ANGRY IINTELLIGENT BULLDOG on our side.:evilgrin:

13. I guess those scientists were correct in calling Bush Admin Liers.

Scientists claim White House skews data


Friday, February 20, 2004


By EVA LOAYZA
Staff Writer

PRINCETON - The Bush administration has suppressed or distorted scientific information and undermined the quality of scientific advisory panels, according to a statement issued by a group of more than 60 leading scientists, including three Princeton University professors.

The statement, released Wednesday, calls for regulatory and legislative action to restore scientific integrity to federal policy-making.

The statement was written by Dr. Kurt Gottfried, emeritus professor of physics at Cornell University and chairman of the Union of Concerned Scientists, after growing concerns in the scientific community about the current administration. It was signed by scientists, including Nobel laureates, leading medical experts, former federal agency directors and university leaders.
