If any of the lyin' barstools we've put in high office the past 50 years had told the truth we: Wouldn't have been in Vietnam, wouldn't have suffered through Watergate, wouldn't have been involved in the Iran-Contra mess, wouldn't have had the national embarrassment of Monicagate, been in a protracted war in Iraq, or gotten hosed by the housing collapse.

Take partisan sides if that appeals to you. To me, they're all swine.
