OH... THAT TESTIMONY?

It's 'Hard Work' Getting all these Lies Straight

John Bolton, Dubya's nominee for ambassador to the United Nations didn't 'recall' being interviewed by the State Department inspector general about his role in fabricating the 'Iraq tried to buy uranium from Africa' hoax that Dubya lied about in his 2003 SOTU address.

As part of the Senate confirmation process Bolton was asked to fill out a questionnaire and one of the questions was, had he been "interviewed or asked for information in connection with any administrative investigation, including that of an inspector general, during the last five years", and he answered 'no'.

Well, the problem with that is he had been interviewed by the State Department's IG less than 12 months earlier. But you know, you got to give Bolton the benefit of doubt, it's really hard to keep so many lies straight and 12 months after all, is quite a long time.

When Scott McClellan was asked at Friday's White House press briefing about Bolton's brief lapse of memory he replied, "I think the State Department addressed that last night, and it was John Bolton who pointed that out".

Well Scotty, that's not exactly the way it happened either. You see... it was Joe Biden who wrote Condi Rice a letter pointing out that Mr. Bolton had in fact lied on his questionnaire to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Bolton didn't admit anything until Biden called him on it.

John Bolton is not only an embarrassment, but also a liar. But, I guess when you think about it, he'll fit right in with this administration.

He just has to work a little harder on getting all his lies straight; which should only require a few sit-downs with 'Turd-Blossom'.
