Mark A. R. Kleiman: New dimensions in shamelessness: "George W. Bush, President of a nation at war, speaking of the energy bill, aka the 'No Lobbyist Left Behind' bill, which signally fails to do any of the things that could be done through energy policy to reduce the flow of money from American gas pumps to countries from which it then flows into terrorist coffers:

'For the sake of our national security ... the Senate must pass this bill.'

What's truly horrible is that saying that didn't cost Bush a minute's sleep. He simply and truly doesn't care whether what he says has any relationship whatever to the truth."

Yeah, my favorite part of this post is the "No Lobbyist Left Behind" bill. Just brilliant. I am used to the rest of it--Bush justifying every move on the basis of the war on terrorism.
