    Bush: I lied. Wait, no I didn't!

    That's funny...well scary coming from the president's mouth, but sort of funny none the less.

    It's pretty obvious that the president was not only saying that he lied but that it was the reporters that made him do so. Not content to stop there, it sounds like he was telling the reporters that he'd lie to them too if he didn't like their questions, like during the press conference.

    I thought major politcos were coached on the fine art of talking around questions they don't want to answer. It looks like this is another subject that Bush didn't learn very well. Go figure.
