Bush: "Chalabi Who?"

This issue with Bush practically denying he's ever heard of Ahmed Chalabi now is as ridiculous as his pretending he didn't know who Ken Lay of Enron was a few years ago (Bush and Lay were good friends who used to vacation together; Lay had sort of his own office at the White House, it's said, for a time before Enron blew up).

Keith Olbermann right now is pointing out that during Tim Russert's February interview with Bush, the president said he had sat down for extensive discussions with Chalabi. On Tuesday, however, Bush specifically said he had never met with him or had extensive discussions with Chalabi.

How can anyone think this president is candid and honest? Yet with the imminent release of Clinton's book, everyone is bringing up the lie about not having sexual relations with Monica Lewinsky.

Compare the level of lies. Bush lies about everything and is considered honest. Clinton lied about an intern.
