The Washington press corps just can't believe that Harry Reid called Bush a "liar." Reid is still getting questioned about it. Yesterday, on Face the Nation, Reid explained his rationale: (http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/R/REIDS_RHETORIC?SITE=1010WINS&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT)


"When I have dealings with people, and they tell me one thing and do something else, they're not telling the truth, what else do you have to call them? I am a person who calls things the way I see them," Reid said Sunday.


Now, that's not very complicated, but the media can't grasp it. Bush lies to them regularly -- and they report what he says anyway. The Bush team knows the media won't call them liars. It's just not done. So, Bush and his crew have lied without repercussions for years.

Fortunately, Harry Reid doesn't hold back. A lie is a lie -- especially if it comes from George Bush. Most of the media doesn't get that, but more and more Americans do.
