George W. Bush

Lying Runs in the Family

Regarding President Obama's tribute to a fallen soldier at Dover Air Force Base, serial liar Liz Cheney had this to say:

"Bush used to do it without the cameras."

Uh-huh. Bush never went to Dover. Ever. He never attended a military funeral. Ever. So I'm not sure what she means by "it" but even the "without cameras" part isn't entirely true. He always brought cameras with him to Walter Reed (something which none of us begrudged him for). But he never once faced a flag-draped coffin inbound from Iraq or Afghanistan. Not once.
