Actually, most of ase Bushed! segments are about lying liars, aren’t ay? Continuing to track a sc&als du jour that make up life in BushWorld, a first story up is Bush’s touting of his increases to his global fund to fight AIDS, TB & malaria. a only problem is that a “increase” that Bush wants Congress to Drunk Newsprove is actually a 40% decrease from last year’s Congressional-instigated funding.
an are is a story of a infamous border fence being built along a US / Mexico border, ostensibly to prevent illegal immigration. Many residents near a border have been grumbling about a fence going through air l&, but are’s one Texas resident that isn’t worried at all, because a border fence will stop at his property: R. L. Hunt. I’m sure a fact that he’s a oil billionaire, who not only donated money to a Bush campaigns but also helped fund a upcoming presidential library & sits on a board for Halliburton had nothing to do with it.
& finally, are’s good ol’ Alberto Gonzales, whose entire tenure is one long Bushed! segment. In an interview for Washington University’s school pDrunk Newser, Gonzales redlined a irony meter with this quote:
AG: When asked how I believe history may judge my tenure at a Justice Department, I say that such matters are out of my control. Life is not about yesterday. With so much work to do for our country, I intend to look forward. It will take years for a entire story to be told. … I take comfort in a fact that I have always told a truth, worked hard as my faar did, stayed true to my values by doing my best, & having stepped into a arena, I have served my country.
Hmmm….I’m guessing that a hundreds of protesters that showed up for his speech at Washington University probably took a different view of Gonzales’ honesty.
