The John McCain magic show, will the lying ever stop!

     Whether the number is really 16, or 22, is of no real consequence to the discussion. In the same way in which the U.S. Government owning 8% or 80% of AIG for a 2 year period or a 20 year period makes no difference to what we are watching transpire...and the prelude which it can only constitute, to what would become standard fare during the course of a four year reign of McBush 44.

     You can almost always tell when a politician is lying. And, with Johnny Mc Mind Change, that's about 90% of the time. It's no wonder that his followers can find reports to support his positions, he's changed just about every one! Johnny Mc Tap Dance, has retracted, redacted, refined, refurbished and recanted, almost every position he's ever had!

     In the case of Johnny Poker Face, however...I can honestly say I have never seen a politician who has been in the game for twenty-six years, and every time he get caught in a lie, he get that "Ooh...I think someone just shoved a cob in my ass" look on his face because even he knows he is lying… and is pretty convinced you know it, too.

     For a guy who supposedly stared down the guys who were giving him the business on an hourly basis at the Hanoi Hilton...Johnny Look Me In The Eye is just not a really good liar. (Good thing he hired the Bush staff they're experts!)

     I guess that could be taken as a compliment, especially for a politician. In fact, it would be a compliment...if, in fact, he didn't willingly volunteer to attempt to bullshit each and every person he come in contact with, on a daily basis.

   By the same token...on those very, very few occasions when Johnny Feel Good really does speak from his heart...you know...you remember that one time last year, when the sky opened up, the sun shone down upon Our Hero, and the voice of God called out, "Listen to my boy, Johnny DoRight...he be tellin' it like it is"...and we heard Johnny say…

     "Economics is not something I've understood as well as I should"...Johnny Honesty really had that angelic, beaming halo kind of thing happening for him.

     The really funny thing is that Johnny is far from being the only liar in the world. To some extent, almost everyone has fudged the time they left somewhere, arrived somewhere, whether the check really was in the mail...or, whether you fired your Police Commissioner because he wouldn't fire your ex-brother-in-law.

   But there's a differences between telling a little lie now and then, and having a campain full of pathological liar...  I think you know what I mean.

     If you do...you also know that no matter how hard you try to look like you are telling the truth, when you're not...you just can't mimic even yourself when you know that you aren't being straight up with whoever you happen to be telling your version of the story.

     In the case of Johnny Foot-In-Mouth...when he knows he has just fed you a line, he goes from an internal "Oh shit" to various external examples of sheer panic, in less time than it takes the Treasury Department to bail out a failing insurance company.

     I can't say I have seen all 22 of Chris Matthew's versions of his Mc turn arounds where he says,..."The Fundamentals of Our Economy Are Sound".... or even the 16 that Obama could recall. I can tell you that in the ones I did see...by the time the Dow had dropped twenty percent from its All-Time High...and some reasonably intelligent folks were suggesting that major banks and investment houses were in serious trouble...the fist pump was no longer a part of Reverend Johnny's delivery of what he already realized was a steaming pile.

     He also rattles way to easy for someone who might have to ultimately play a Ronald Reagan kind of game of opossum with any one of the new bread of world dictator...all of whom have probably at least honed their own bullshitting prowess on PokerStars.net.

     With Fannie & Freddie now safely nationalized by Bush 43, Countrywide and Merrill Lynch tucked tightly under the  blankets that Bank of America gave them to transfer their checking accounts...Lehman Brothers in front of a Bankruptcy Court Judge, and even his own Single Digit IQ Supporters realizing that AIG, WAMU, and as many as 986 Regional Banks were not far behind, Johnny Joe Isuzu had to again change his position, either giving up the whole Fundamentals being Sound thing...or, at least add some transitional bullshit to throw off the guys who were about to start asking the Charlie Gibson-style questions. You know...the really tough kind.

     So...Steve Schmitt, and Charlie Black, who are far, far more accomplished bullshit artists than even Johnny  "Honest Honey, I Wasn't Banging the Heiress While You Were Having Another Surgery To Repair Your Disgusting Disfigurement"...wrote a new script, which had Johnny Gompers explain that "The 'Merican Worker" was the "Fundamentals" of which he had previously spaked...all 22 times.

    Oh...and that anybody who disagreed, and wanted to bad-mouth 'Merican Workers, could just go right ahead.
