So the MSM uses "Clintonesque" to describe evasive answers - how about
we use "Bushed" when anybody totally flat out lies?

Whenever a caller gets on a show, and is pointing out how fill-in-the-blank news item is a total, bald-faced lie, use the term "He pulled a Bush."

Example:

Condoleeza Rice - "I never saw the memo."

Caller: "Boy, she Bushed that one, eh?"

1. Bush sure likes to evade questions on cocaine use.
He sounds everybit as evasive as anyone in baseball on that one.

2. Nice. And how about using "Reagan"...
when they pull the Gipper defense? - "I don't recall."

Talking Head: "I wasn't expecting such Reaganesque answers from him."

5. why is it that Clinton's term is even thought of as scandal ridden

6. raygun was the most scandalized administration.
His guys committed treason repeatedly and were convicted. Of course, in the busholini inc administration, those convicts are once again running the con games.
