Lie or Die?

Just a quick, yet fun (well in my opinion) note for today...

Hidden in today's Washington Post article by Michael Abramowitz about Rove's super partisan hack replacement (to no one's surprise), was this terrific gem about Torie Clark who was Donald Rumsfeld's professional liar, er, "Press Secretary".

Draper also writes that Bolten first approached Donald Rumsfeld's old press secretary Torie Clarke about becoming White House press secretary after Scott McClellan quit in 2006. Clarke purportedly told Bolten she would rather commit suicide. The chief of staff then turned to Snow.

Snow, by the way, mangled several run-throughs -- failing to recite the White House talking points on Iraq -- but was given the job anyway, according to Draper.

Now, aside from the fact that it's funny that a RW Bush Administration shill from FOX NEWS couldn't get the White House Iraq talking points straight, I found the Torie Clark line hilarious.

A few things made me giggle at this. First she's been all over TV spouting that piece of crap book (shown above), "Lipstick on a Pig". We'll refrain from making comments about who that title could refer to.

Secondly, she lied for Rumsfeld who was almost as nuts and lost from reality as Bush is.

But ultimately she knew how often Bush lies and how hard it is to keep them straight (see: Tony Snow - Iraq talking points above) and how impossible it is to keep serious press from asking hard questions because you can only answer with complete bullshit so often.

That one would consider suicide over having to professionaly speak for this Administration, speaks volumes about the lies they are telling and how difficult a job it must be to go out and keep a straight face with the press daily when feeding them this garbage.

Of course for right wing ideologues, they think that if they spin the lie long enough it becomes the truth irregardless of facts so maybe that's how Fleischer, McClellan, Snow and now Dana Perino sleep at night.

These people have no conscience to say the things they do on behalf of Bush.

Of course Bush and Cheney have even less conscience which is why they are so dangerous to begin with.
